Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatt Wicks is a Solutions Architect and seasoned .NET full-stack developer with eight years of professional experience, currently splitting time between SSW and TinaCMS as a Software Architect. He blends deep Microsoft-stack expertise (ASP.NET, Web API, SQL Server, Dynamics 365) with modern front-end work in React/Next.js and open-source contributions to TinaCMS, where he’s improved UX, editor features and Next.js security configurations. A polyglot across Android, macOS and Windows platforms and a self-described shell-script aficionado, he focuses on empowering users and teams through practical tooling and automation. Matt has a track record of stabilising and migrating legacy systems, introducing CI/CD and DevOps practices, and shepherding projects from specification to production support. He’s equally comfortable refactoring UI components as he is architecting backend integrations for enterprise clients like Microsoft and Commonwealth Bank. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic technologist who pairs hands-on coding with product-minded thinking to make developer experience measurable and repeatable.
