Matthew Law
Experienced Software Developer
I am an enthusiastic and hard-working Software Engineer currently working as a Web Developer on enterprise applications, with a range of experiences including distributed simulations for integration and training purposes.
Always looking to improve myself and my skills, I have a genuine enjoyment of learning new technologies. This is demonstrated by my personal projects that utilise Svelte, React, & GraphQL amongst other frameworks and technologies.
I am a good team member, having participated in team sports since a young age. I have shown throughout my career, both professionally and within sports teams, that I also have the ability to take on leadership roles when the opportunity arises.

Hobbies
Outside of work I enjoy working on my own projects of various tech stacks and challenges. One of my recent projects was a very simple real-time time logging app that uses SvelteJS, Firebase Auth and Firestore DB. This was my first app using Firestore DB and SvelteJS and led me to redevelop my personal blog using SvelteJS and Sapper. The app can be accessed and used at https://time.mattlaw.dev/ with the source code available at https://github.com/mlawd/project-delorean . Other projects I have done away from work include the wedding website for my wife and I and a micro-service (AWS lambda) based CMS with separate services for identity, articles and uploads.
I enjoy being involved in team-based sports, having recently joined a Cricket club as well as having played Football and Basketball from a young age. I spent 2 years as captain of the Junior Sharks B Team, 2 years as Captain of the Newcastle University Knights & 2 years as President of the Newcastle University Knights. I am also a Level 2 Basketball coach and have previously coached Basketball to a high level, reaching the National League Playoff Finals 3 years running, winning in the 3rd year.
