My name is Matthew, and I adore all things technology. While my current focus is technology strategy and architecture, I have over 20 years of professional experience, much of which I spent hands-on as a software developer.

While my work requires me to spend an increasing amount of time in PowerPoint and Excel, I like to keep hands-on with technology through personal projects and hackathons.

I also like to express myself through art, most recently exploring AI assisted art and embarking on a journey to learn 3D modelling; however, this is most definitely a hobby and not a profession.

I currently live in Brisbane, Australia, and I grew up all over Queensland from the Torres Straits to the Gold Coast.

I live with severe but higher-functioning autism and am an advocate for change in the workplace, including a break from traditional career paths, to better support and realise the benefits of neurodiversity.

I am also proud to call myself a gamer. Not only are video games a wonderfully immersive form of entertainment, but they are also an important and powerful form of connectivity for the neurodivergent and socially isolated.
