About

19 years of building things that have to keep working.

I’m Matt. I’m a software engineer in Athens, Tennessee, and I have been building for the web since 2007 — 19 years now.

Most of that work has been for organizations where a broken deploy is somebody’s bad week — universities, hospitals and medical companies, enterprise brands like Disney, Chick-fil-A, Dr Pepper, AMC and Go RVing, nonprofits running on one part-time admin, and small businesses where the owner is also the IT department.

Today I engineer at WCA, and I build and grow my own products, starting with SendWP. I take on a small number of outside projects each year.

If you want clean, maintainable code from someone who will tell you when the simple option is the right one, get in touch.
