Hi, I'm Matt

Software Engineer

Florida (Remote)

14+ years building and modernizing systems with Java, Spring, and Angular. Architecture, performance optimization, and turning technical debt into clean, maintainable software.

About

I’m a software engineer focused on system design, legacy modernization, and performance optimization. I work through Mahabal Technologies, helping teams transform technical debt into scalable, maintainable systems.

I care about building software that lasts — clean architecture, pragmatic trade-offs, and shipping things that work.

Outside of work, I’m usually gaming or tinkering with my homelab.

Check out my latest work

I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.
