About Matthew

I am a senior full-stack software engineer specialising in web applications, mobile apps, AI-powered systems, fintech platforms and blockchain development.

I help startups, entrepreneurs and established businesses turn ideas into reliable, production-ready products. I can manage the complete development lifecycle, including requirements analysis, system architecture, UI and UX, frontend development, backend APIs, databases, cloud deployment, testing and ongoing technical support.

My core technologies include TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Next.js, React Native, Node.js, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Solidity and Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks.

I can help with:

• Building complete web and mobile applications
• Developing MVPs and startup prototypes
• Creating AI agents, automation tools and intelligent interfaces
• Designing secure APIs and backend systems
• Building fintech and financial-data platforms
• Developing smart contracts and blockchain applications
• Completing, repairing or modernising existing software projects

I focus on clear communication, robust architecture and software that solves a genuine business problem. Whether you need an initial technical consultation, a working MVP or a complete production platform, I can take the project from concept through to deployment.
