About me

Biography

Hi, I'm Matthew! I'm a Software Developer from Toronto, ON, with a focus on AI-powered applications, full-stack development, and immersive experiences. I lead front-end and workflow design for internal AI platforms, and I run a software consulting practice building custom web apps and automation for businesses. I work across the stack: React, Node.js, TypeScript, and cloud (AWS, Supabase, Azure). I have shipped VR games for Meta Quest, multi-agent grading systems, and AI-driven internal tools. I care about clear architecture, human-in-the-loop design, and reducing manual work through thoughtful automation. Whether it's scalable APIs, VR and game development, or LLM-driven workflows, I like pushing what's possible with the tools at hand. Let's connect and collaborate on something interesting.
