Hi, I'm Matt Ray — a pragmatic Full Stack Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience building, scaling, and modernizing web applications across startups, agencies, and contract work.
My core strength is delivering efficient, maintainable solutions under real-world constraints. I've architected and maintained production systems in Ruby on Rails, C#/.NET, and PHP, while integrating everything from 250+ legacy PHP sites into large-scale C# backends to building custom RFQ platforms and complex 2-way ETL pipelines with client ERP systems.
I thrive on refactoring monolithic codebases, optimizing database performance, designing fault-tolerant multi-tenant architectures, and leading development efforts that actually move the needle. Whether I'm working in a startup environment, managing full IT infrastructure, or collaborating directly with clients, I focus on clear communication, clean code, and results that last.
If you're looking for someone who can take ownership, ship high-quality work, and make complex systems simpler — let's talk.
