Hi, I'm Matt Romanes, a Software Engineer with a passion for infrastructure resilience and AI integration. I specialize in Python, Swift, and JavaScript development, and I've designed AI solutions that support intelligent infrastructure monitoring while keeping data secure and local. I'm proud to have worked on platforms linking municipal systems and received recognition from Apple engineering teams for my technical work. I love building smart, efficient systems that reduce operational costs and improve service continuity. Outside work, I'm interested in aviation, technology trends, and sports like cycling and Formula 1. I'm also relocating soon from Wellington to Melbourne and look forward to new opportunities there.…Hi, I'm Matt Romanes, a Software Engineer with a passion for infrastructure resilience and AI integration.
