Matthew Gordon
Web Developer & Designer
Why does every web developer portfolio start with "hey"?
Seriously. Just search: 'front-end developer portfolio' if you don't know what I mean. Nearly every result will start with big text yelling something like "Hey!" or "Hi!" It's weird, right? What other kinds of websites do that? I can't think of any.
It just has a very mid/late 1990s feel to it. It's like I'm talking to you directly as though I know you on a personal level. A thing I promise I would never do.
All that being said, I am genuinely happy that you, specifically, are checking out this portfolio. My name is Matt Gordon. I'm a web developer, tech lead, and creative dude. It's nice to meet you.
Skills
I've worked in the field of web software development for over 10 years now. Am I a fullstack developer? Well, if you put a gun to my head and asked me if I favor Front End or Back End focused development I'd say "Front End" with no hesitation. Like honestly I wouldn't even have time to have a bead of sweat form from that experience. But I've also built a bunch of backend applications if that's what you need.
