Welcome to my LinkedIn 👋

I generally go by Newman, but please do not confuse me with the super villain from Seinfeld.

I'm a passionate, detail oriented UI engineer dedicated to crafting seamless user experiences that help make the world a better place. I get excited about reducing clicks, increasing stability from high ROI UI testing, pragmatic accessibility, making cool maps, and advocating for and building design systems.

If you want to combine cutting-edge technology with a passion for environmental sustainability, let's connect and collaborate on projects that will create meaningful change and build a brighter, greener future! 🌱 matthew.newman.43@gmail.com

Here's also a little more about me

🚀 I have Technical Expertise:

As a UI engineer, I specialize in creating intuitive interfaces that not only delight users but also drive results. My expertise spans front-end areas such as 
- the basics such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- modern frameworks such as React and Next.js
- testing tools such as cypress and jest; 
- more advanced areas such as deeper typescript, map tooling, and UI adjacent skills to properly maintain a professional, scalable codebase such as linting, scripting etc

🌿 I have a Passion for Environmental Impact:
Beyond technology, I'm deeply committed to making a positive impact on our planet. I believe that technology has a crucial role to play in environmental stewardship, from optimizing supply chains to promoting sustainable practices. Whether it's through volunteering, advocating for eco-friendly initiatives, or integrating green principles into my work, I'm dedicated to leaving the world a better place for future generations.

💡 I am a Design Systems Advocate:

I believe in the power of design systems to streamline workflows, promote consistency, and elevate user experiences. Whether it's establishing best practices, defining component libraries, or fostering cross-team collaboration, I'm passionate about architecting scalable design systems that empower teams to deliver exceptional products efficiently.

🗺️ I am a Map Tooling Enthusiast:

Maps are more than just navigation tools; they're gateways to discovery and understanding. I'm fascinated by the intersection of mapping technology and user interfaces, whether it's implementing interactive maps for data visualization or leveraging geospatial analysis for complex problem-solving
