Profile: https://flows.cv/matthewchinn

I am a proven senior software engineer with years of experience efficiently building high quality code and navigating the organizational and collaborative complexities of a large company. 

Although my primary comfort lies in full-stack web development, I take pride in my ability to learn new skills quickly and make an immediate impact - as demonstrated by my experiences at Google, jumping into Android UI in Kotlin or data pipelines in SQL and Golang.

My biggest interest is in user-facing application development, but am open to opportunities that are impactful or technically exciting. If I sound like a good match, let's connect!
