About Matt
I know what it feels like to start from scratch.
Before coding bootcamps were a common path into tech, I taught myself to code and made the leap into software engineering entirely on my own. There was no structured curriculum to follow, no cohort of peers to lean on - just determination, curiosity, and a lot of trial and error. That journey shaped the kind of teacher I am today, because I remember exactly what it feels like to be the person in the room who is not sure they belong there yet.
That decision launched a career spanning nearly two decades, with stops along the way at Charter Communications, where I earned the Annual Charter Champions Award for a warehouse system I built from the ground up, through to agricultural software, e-commerce platforms, enterprise energy storage systems, and eventually Paramount+, where my code reached audiences across multiple continents. Most recently I have been working at the data pipeline and payments infrastructure level, building systems that process real-time merchant financing data at scale.
Along the way, I discovered something I love just as much as building software: helping other people learn how to do it.
Since 2018, I have been an instructor at a professional coding bootcamp, where I have helped hundreds of students from all kinds of backgrounds - retail workers, healthcare professionals, administrators, and career changers of every kind - make the same leap I once made myself. Watching someone write their first working API, or land their first developer job, never gets old. That is genuinely what keeps me doing this.
I am also an ICAgile ICP Certified Instructor, which means I bring the same professional credibility to teaching Agile methodology that I bring to web development. I have led distributed engineering teams, managed offshore developers, run sprints, and facilitated Kanban workflows in real production environments. When I teach Agile, it comes from experience, not a slide deck.
My lessons are relaxed and judgment-free. I do not expect you to already know things - that is why you are here. What I do expect is that you show up curious and willing to try, and I will meet you the rest of the way. Whether you are writing your very first line of JavaScript or untangling a complex backend architecture, we will figure it out together.
If I could do it without a roadmap, I can absolutely help you do it with one.

About My Lessons
I'm a senior full-stack software engineer with nearly a decade of hands-on industry experience and a genuine passion for teaching - not as a side hobby, but as a sustained parallel career. I've been actively instructing at a professional coding bootcamp since 2018, where I've coached hundreds of students from zero coding experience to job-ready engineers. Whether you're a career changer, a CS student who needs real-world context, or a working developer trying to level up, my lessons are built around you.
My Teaching Method and Techniques
I don't lecture at you - I build with you.
My approach mirrors how real software teams work: we start with a goal, break it into manageable pieces, and iterate. I use real-world projects and production-grade examples drawn from my industry work at companies like Paramount, Bayer Crop Science, and NEC Energy Solutions, so what you learn in a session maps directly to what employers expect on day one.
Key techniques I use:
Scaffolded problem solving - I guide you through the why before the how, so concepts stick instead of just being copied.
Live coding side-by-side - We write code together in real time. I make mistakes on purpose and show you how engineers debug and think through problems.
Socratic questioning - Rather than hand you answers, I ask targeted questions that help you arrive at the solution yourself. This builds confidence and retention.
Technical interview simulation - I've spent years coaching students on technical interviewing, so I weave in soft practice throughout our sessions, not just at the end.
A Typical Lesson
Every lesson starts with a quick check-in: what did you try since last time, what got stuck, and what are we building toward? From there, a session might look like:
Review - We revisit the previous concept through a short exercise or quiz to solidify it.
New concept introduction - I explain the topic in plain language, then connect it to a real project or industry scenario.
Guided build - We implement something together, with me asking questions as we go rather than just narrating.
Your turn - You take the wheel on a similar challenge while I observe and coach.
Wrap-up - We summarize what was learned and define a small, achievable task before the next session.
Sessions are flexible and adapt to your pace. If something clicks fast, we go deeper. If something needs more time, we take it.
What Sets Me Apart
Most tutors can explain a concept. I can show you how it plays out in a production codebase with real stakes.
I've led distributed engineering teams, shipped features used by millions of streaming service subscribers internationally, maintained 180+ data pipelines in a live production environment, and built curriculum taught to new engineers from scratch. That breadth means I can meet you where you are - whether you're wrestling with JavaScript fundamentals, trying to understand how REST APIs actually work, or learning how Agile teams function in a real company.
I'm also an ICAgile ICP Certified Instructor, one of the few tutors who can walk you through Agile methodology at a certification level, not just as a buzzword.
And I never make you feel behind. Learning to code is hard. I've watched hundreds of students struggle with the same concepts, and I know how to reframe, re-explain, and rebuild confidence when things feel overwhelming.
Who This Is For
My lessons are well-suited for:
Bootcamp students and self-taught developers who want to fill gaps and build real projects
Computer science students who need industry context to complement their academic coursework
Career changers breaking into web development for the first time
Working developers looking to pick up a new framework (Vue.js, Angular, Node.js, Express) or modernize their practices
Teams and professionals wanting to understand Agile, Scrum, and Kanban from a certified practitioner
Anyone preparing for technical interviews who wants realistic practice with someone who has coached job-seekers firsthand
Topics I cover include: JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, Vue.js, Angular, Node.js, Express.js, REST API design, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, PHP, Laravel, Git and GitHub, CI/CD fundamentals, and Agile/Scrum methodology.
If you're serious about getting better - not just getting through an assignment - let's build something together.
