Hey! I'm Matthew McFadden
A jack of many trades with a primary focus on software and web development and a goal of creating an enjoyable and engaging user experience for all. I believe great software should feel intuitive, perform reliably.
Here is a little about me
I am a 22 year old full-stack web developer and software developer based in Lexington, Kentucky and a Senior at the University of Kentucky pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Information Communication Technology with a minor in Business and a certificate in Artificial Intelligence.
I am typically pretty busy, but you can usually find me working on Surrealist at SurrealDB, completing school assignments, playing video games, or working on the various other projects listed on this website. When I'm not coding, I enjoy exploring new technologies and collaborating with friends on creative ventures like Starlane Studios.
Experience Highlight - SurrealDB
I am currently working at SurrealDB as a Software Engineering Contractor in the frontend team. Here I spend my time working on the main website, pushing updates to Surrealist and SurrealDB Cloud's frontend within it, creating internal tooling, templating emails, and much more.
Surrealist is the flagship IDE for SurrealDB, a next-generation database that combines the flexibility of document stores with the power of relational databases. Working on Surrealist has given me hands-on experience building complex, data-intensive UIs that developers rely on every day, and it's rewarding to see the tools I help build used by some of the largest teams around the world.
