Matthew Goodrich, Software Developer

About Me

I am a passionate and results-oriented software developer with over 18 years of experience crafting full-stack solutions. While I excel at tackling complex frontend challenges, ideating innovative approaches, and delivering polished, user-friendly UIs, I have contributed to backends in many roles, developing API endpoints, integrating databases, and building CI/CD deployment solutions. Throughout my career, I have been an integral contributor to the teams and organizations I've joined, driving consistent performance, pioneering cutting-edge technologies, and optimizing systems for efficiency and conversions.

I design and build dynamic UI features and components and APIs to support them for applications using tools and technologies such as Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, FastAPI, and Tailwind CSS. Beyond my professional experience, I am an enthusiastic AI/ML explorer, hobbyist, and creator, exploring reactive generative AI, agentic tooling, and context-driven prompting to create the next generation of tools, user interfaces, and experiences online.

Projects

I love building amazing user experiences and have had the opportunity to recently build out the front-end UI of some amazing user-facing projects from blank slate and beautiful graphics in a Figma file to fully usable, playable, or interactive online experiences. Here are a few below, some are no longer in business (deprecated/archived).
