About Me

Hi, I'm Matthew, nicknamed "Mashu", a remote software engineer with experience teaching and developing on the full stack, leading and managing teams, and launching new products.

I take intense pride in my work, but I'm still human, so here goes a small bit about who I am. I'm a very active person - I've competed in soccer most of my life. When I'm not working, you may find me coding on a personal project, or at a park or beach with a soccer ball by my feet, on the jiu jitsu mats rolling around, or tossing a frisbee around with my wife. I'm extremely empathetic, its one of my greatest strengths as well as weaknesses.
