I have a wealth of experience with full-stack technologies that have been applied to various products in my career.
Having worked closely with the hospitality industry with software, websites, and tools, I've since pivoted for the last 6 years and now lead technology projects at Ava Technologies and That Group Co.
I have a patient and easy-going attitude, perfectly willing to explain in as little or as much detail as you need.
Together we can figure out your technical hurdles!

Matthew Spence REALLY helped me to understand my code. (We had fun too.)

Matthew is awesome. He solved my issue using a web framework and a templating language (based on a programming language) that he's never really used before. He doesn't let you off the hook until you can understand and explain back the concepts he's taught you 🙈 😆. He knows a lot but isn't arrogant, so even if you know considerably less than he does, you don't go away feeling like an idiot... (much) Lol. Really friendly and very funny. 👍

Matthew is a knowledgeable and patient teacher who is collaborative when seeking out the best solution to an issue and explains concepts thoroughly (and with a sense of humor). Will definitely reach out again.

All i can say is wow, this is my first time getting a mentor and he is hands down the best, not only he is knowledgable on Vue and Laravel, he also takes the initiative to explain in details during our session. Really awesome guy and super friendly to chat. Managed to finish my project thanks to his mentoring. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Matthew is hands down amazing. He is super knowledgable. In my case we worked on HTML and JavaScript and he knew everything!! Answered all of my questions and explained it all to me so that I could understand. Can not recommend him enough!! Also just a super cool guy to chat to!
