Honours computer science student by day, coder by night.

Hello World, I'm Matt.

Matthew
Flying

I'm a twenty-year-old undergraduate student finishing up my third year of honours computer science at the University of Victoria. Derivable from my degree, I have a passion for tech.

Moreover, I'm an athlete. I thoroughly enjoy snowboarding, long distance running (masochism?!), and fitness in general.

Finally, I've also been told moms love me, sooooooo...

I started my developer journey in the tenth grade. At school, I was tasked with creating a final project for history class that would be due in a couple months.

I decided my project would be a fully-fledged video game. This was an insane undertaking for someone who'd never seen code before.

However, after many hours of being glued to my computer and reading multiple C# textbooks, I completed the (in hindsight terribly coded) video game.

Self Learner

I enjoy going above and beyond to learn, pushing me to participate in hackathons and bootcamps.

Community Oriented

I actively contribute to Stack Overflow, the Flutter package manager, and my GitHub account.

Passion Driven

I love programming. So much so that I've built online coding communities (#1, #2, #3) with many members.

Custom Endpoint Data Tracker

May 2023

A mobile app that allows users to enter a URL to JSON data. The app then dynamically parses the JSON using a custom-built parser, mapping each detected datapoint to a trackable "stat card". Users can then save/view these cards, allowing for easy access to data they care about.

Auto Leetcode Question Solver

January 2023 • Sold commercially

My friend Chris and I like solving Leetcode questions legitimately. However, at a manual rate, solving 100% of the site's questions would take a while. Hence, we created a bot to do it for us! It uses test cases to ensure a ~100% acceptance rate of its submissions, and it scrapes answers from Leetcode's discussion forms. You can configure it to solve by a set language and difficulty. Here's an example of a leveled account.
