Hi, I am Matt Dickens! 👋

I am a Full-Stack & Cloud Software Engineer with over 7 years of professional experience building high-scale, resilient systems. From optimizing financial platforms for the International Space Station at NASA to architecting high-throughput IoT event pipelines and AI-driven compliance tools, I love turning complex architectural puzzles into clean, observable code.

My technical toolkit is broad, spanning C#, Golang, TypeScript, Java, and Python, alongside deep expertise in AWS cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and DevOps automation. I thrive in the sweet spot where backend reliability meets developer productivity, always aiming to leave systems faster, cheaper, and easier to debug than I found them.

When I’m Offline... 🕹️🎸🌲

When I step away from the IDE, you can usually find me tinkering with my homelab, diving into game development, or writing a new campaign for my next tabletop RPG night. I balance out my screen time by heading outdoors for hiking and cycling, hitting the gym for some weightlifting, or getting lost in a good book. I'm also a big fan of board games, and when the mood strikes, I love picking up my guitar to play and make music.
