Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Black is a Senior Developer with 11 years of experience who excels in back-end .NET Core and Azure-based systems while comfortably working across Angular front-ends and SQL Server databases. He prefers small, proactive teams that embrace continuous improvement and helped shift product teams from quarterly to monthly releases by introducing CI/CD and automated deployments. As a technical lead and former enterprise architect, he’s driven platform-level thinking—building common services, integrations, and portals that scaled SaaS offerings for property management and financial systems. He combines a product-minded approach to specification and estimation with hands-on development, often surfacing problems before they occur. Based in the Western Cape and holding an MSc-equivalent Hons in Computer Science from UCT, he thrives when fully immersed in an industry so he can craft efficient, indispensable software. An uncommon detail: his GitHub profile lists a postdoc affiliation with Princeton, hinting at academic curiosity alongside commercial delivery.
