Matthew Andresen

I'm a full stack engineer with a background in healthcare, who’s passionate about building innovative solutions and designing experiences that make folks smile.

For a quick look into my personal life, I'm a big nerd that loves dogs, digital art, boardgames, videogames, and playing around with personal pet projects. I'm also a pretty big fitness buff, and you'll often find me hiking, surfing or snowboarding when I'm able!

My Story

For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to the challenge of solving puzzles and strategy games. There's nothing quite like the feeling of hitting that breakthrough moment on a particularly brain-bending problem! This passion drove me to coding as a way to streamline tasks in my previous work, and soon after, a full-time career in software engineering.

What I've Done

As an engineer, I’ve built full stack applications in JavaScript, TypeScript and Ruby, following Agile development values in the production and deployment of scalable single page apps with RESTful APIs. I’ve worked with React and Redux on the frontend, and Node/Express and Rails on the backend. Additionally, I have experience working with both relational and non-relational databases like PostgreSQL, SQLite and MongoDB. I also enjoy designing my own graphics and am skilled with Affinity Creative Suite.
