Available to hire
I’m Matthew Hansen, a software developer with a unique background in construction project management. I completed a Bachelor of Construction Project Management (Honours) and a Diploma of Web Development, and I have since built a career in IT as a software engineer at CarExpert since 2022. I’m currently leading the development of a full-stack Maths Advantage application to replace the current site, and I actively contribute to projects on GitHub. My experience spans client-facing feature work, API integration, and database-driven solutions, with a focus on scalable, reliable systems.
I am highly motivated, well organized, analytical, and thorough. I enjoy learning and acquiring new skills, and I work well both in teams and remotely. I thrive on challenges in web and software development, design, and database integration, and I’m eager to apply my diverse background to create robust software that meets business needs.
