Built using - Ruby on Rails | React | Redux
Hello! My name is Matt, and I am a Software Engineer.
I design, develop, and deploy web applications using React, Redux, Node, Express, Javascript, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL
About Me
I'm a software engineer with experience building web applications using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, React, Redux, Express.js, Mongoose, MongoDB, HTML, CSS, and many other tools. I love learning about new technologies.
Since completing a rigorous 1000+ hour web development bootcamp at App Academy, I have successfully transitioned into the tech industry, specializing in building responsive and efficient applications using React, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and a variety of other technologies. My recent role as a Full-Stack Developer at TeammateMe has not only honed my skills in React and Node.js but has also improved my ability to manage projects efficiently using tools like DigitalOcean and Git for version control.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy working out and playing golf. I also love to spend my free time learning about the newest technologies on the market, building and optimizing computers, and daydreaming about which new food place in my area I am going to visit next with my friends and family. I'm always looking into new ways of improving myself.
