Hi, I'm Matt.

Sole engineer on Avanti, a video learning platform for educators, and Global PD Teams, a professional learning platform. I’m also building a new tool that helps schools implement Behavior Solutions, using surveys and demographic and discipline data to make sure discipline is equitable.

• Built a B2B admin portal for school and district administrators
• Replaced a fragile CI/CD process with GitHub Actions and AWS CDK, and rolled out AWS Security Hub
• Moved Global PD Teams to new AWS infrastructure with zero downtime, and gave it its first test suite and a security overhaul
• Turned a manual content publishing process that took days into a UI-driven one that takes minutes
• Started a monthly knowledge share on development practices, including AI tools, for every engineering team

• Vue.js
• Next.js
• PHP
• AWS ECS
• AWS CDK
• Mux

Led a team of engineers building a suite of travel management apps, owning technical direction, key features and my team’s growth.

• Architected a travel authorization system handling thousands of approvals a day, and moved it to AWS while keeping a 99.99% uptime SLA
• Led a React rewrite of a Flash reporting tool that brings in millions a year, clearing a large support backlog and cutting help desk requests
• Designed and built a Next.js app for IBM that helped win a US government GSA bid
• Drove UX improvements through user research, feedback analysis and iterative interface updates, with a focus on usability and accessibility
• Every engineer on my team earned a nearly 20% raise, well ahead of the rest of the company

• React
• Next.js
• Node.js
• AWS
• Vercel
• Team leadership

Started in customer support for Cornerstone’s travel management software. Learning the product and its users from the support desk led to a promotion into engineering as a junior developer.
