About Matthew

Hello! I am an experienced iOS developer and tech lead with a strong focus on building user-friendly apps and guiding development teams. In my role as co-founder of Swiftly Workspace, I work daily on our own time-tracking tool with future plans towards CRM/ERP solutions.

In addition to my experience with Swift and SwiftUI, I also actively contribute to discussions about workflows, releases, and team dynamics. I enjoy bringing structure to technical processes, supporting people in their growth, and delivering quality together. I also like testing new tools (like AI assistants) to make our work smarter and more efficient.

Outside of software, I have been passionately involved with hardware for years: from building and repairing PCs and networks to setting up my own data server and home mesh network. This practical background often helps me quickly understand and solve both software and hardware problems.

Looking for someone who combines technical depth with collaboration and ownership? Feel free to send me a message!

Experience

  • Swiftly Workspace
    Co-owner
    August 2024 - Today (1 year and 10 months)
    I am working on Swiftly Workspace, a time-tracking app currently under development with the ambition to grow into a full CRM and ERP solution. The focus is on simplicity, reliability, and usability for freelancers and small teams.

    In my role, I combine technical and organizational tasks. I help with drafting and tracking tickets, preparing releases, and fixing bugs that emerge just before a release. Additionally, I regularly contribute to the development itself and have one-on-one conversations with team members to discuss progress and make adjustments where necessary.

    I try to ensure that everything runs smoothly and that the team continues to work in a clear direction, with an eye for quality and collaboration.
  • Swiftly Developed
    Tech Lead
    May 2023 - Today (3 years and 1 month)
    Belgium
    At Swiftly Developed, I take on the role of tech lead within a small, driven team. My focus is on guiding fellow developers, improving our workflows, and creating an efficient and healthy development environment.

    I regularly conduct one-on-one meetings with team members to provide them with technical support, discuss growth opportunities, and address obstacles promptly.
    I actively participate in optimizing workflows, for example, around code reviews, release processes, and communication between team members.
    I experiment with new tools and technologies to make our work smarter, such as testing AI assistants (like Claude) for code analysis and automation.
    Furthermore, I remain involved in the development myself and ensure that decisions align with technical feasibility and product needs.
  • AVIOBOOK
    iOS Developer
    March 2022 - April 2024 (2 years and 1 month)
    Hasselt, Belgium
    As an iOS Developer at Aviobook, I actively contributed to the development of new features from start to finish within a complex and demanding aviation domain.

    In consultation with the backend team, I determined the technical requirements and work distribution per feature, including dependencies and API agreements.
    I took responsibility for the complete implementation of features, from concept to delivery.
    I reverse-engineered existing, undocumented modules (written in UIKit) to better understand them and to modernize or extend them.
    I actively resolved bugs and contributed to structural improvements of the codebase.
    This experience taught me to collaborate closely within a technically strong team, to adapt quickly within an existing codebase, and to deal pragmatically with legacy code.
