Matthew Pettitt

Second Class Computer Science graduate with a strong background in software engineering and 3+ years of full-stack development experience, working across production web and mobile applications using React, Node.js and React Native. Alongside my development work, I founded and currently run an online business providing web solutions to local businesses. I enjoy solving unique technical and business problems, particularly work that requires curiosity, independent thinking and the ability to find practical solutions.

I have delivered multiple client-facing platforms and shipped applications to the iOS App Store. I am particularly motivated by working on new projects that present different challenges, giving me the opportunity to continue learning and developing my expertise across different areas of software development.
