Profile: https://flows.cv/michaelmatthews1

I'm a versatile full-stack software developer with over ten years of professional experience. I've worked on projects varying from Android to React.js, with my most recent focus being on frontend web development. 

Learning and teaching are both important to me. No matter what the project, I enjoy understanding the tech stack from top to bottom and using that knowledge to assist others. Teamwork is critical to successful software and I aim to support my teammates as much as I can.

Outside of work I enjoy reading and playing games of all kinds. I especially enjoy co-op board games and video games, with D&D often a weekly part of my life. I also have a strong interest in environmental sustainably and green energy. My wife and I began the transition to a greener lifestyle last year and haven't looked back!
