# About Me

I'm Matt — a Cloud Engineer with over 20 years of experience delivering enterprise-scale digital solutions. Based in the Greater Derby area, UK.

I started out as a web designer and front-end developer, building interactive experiences for brands like the Royal Opera House, Travelex, and Mobiles.co.uk. Over the years I've worked across the full stack — from CSS wizardry and AngularJS/Vue.js/React to cloud infrastructure and platform engineering.

Currently I'm a Cloud Engineer at CDS UK, where I built a Terraform module system managing 400+ Cloudflare zones, migrated ~1,000 domains, and wrote 52 Cloudflare Workers — all as a single engineer using AI-assisted workflows.

## What I Work With

## AI-Assisted Engineering

I use AI tools like Claude Code as a daily pair programmer — not as a replacement for thinking, but as a force multiplier. At CDS UK, I maintained a 500-line context file as institutional memory across 14 accounts, enabling a single engineer to deliver platform-team-scale output. Side projects like TechPartPrices (a full-stack price comparison site) and this site were both built with Claude Code.

## Beyond Code

When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new tech, tinkering with homelab setups, or competing in hackathons — I won Experian's "Learning About Money Challenge" at Hack24 2018.
