Senior🎓
Top SchoolMat Busby is a Senior Consultant and full-stack developer based in Edmonton who transitioned from a 16-year professional acting career into software, bringing strong collaboration, rapid learning, and project-driven instincts to engineering teams. With a Diploma in Digital Media and IT (honors) from NAIT and four years of professional development experience at FreshWorks Studio / EY Design Studio, he delivers web and cloud solutions using JavaScript/TypeScript, Next.js, Java, Python, SQL, Azure, OpenShift and Keycloak. He has a track record of improving legacy codebases—migrating projects from JavaScript to TypeScript, consolidating packages with Yarn workspaces, and introducing pragmatic rules to address technical debt. Notable engagements include land-use management features with React/Next and Postgres, a FormsFlow.ai-based submission system for BC government workflows, and stabilizing projects through team process improvements during difficult transitions. Mat pairs a creative background with disciplined engineering practices, often spotting human-centric product and process improvements that stem from his theatre and operations management experience.
