Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Bayles is a software developer with 11 years of experience blending civil engineering and full-stack development to deliver practical decision-support tools for water resources and agriculture. Currently at the University of Wisconsin–Madison he develops Django-based web applications that translate hydrologic models and farm data into actionable insights for farmers and ranchers. His background as a civil engineer at Kiewit and research roles at BYU and the US Army Corps exposed him to hands-on drainage design, GSSHA modeling, and Python integrations with engineering tools like MicroStation. Self-taught across Python, JavaScript, R, and web tech early in his career, he pairs domain expertise in hydrology with solid software engineering practices. Based in the Greater Madison area, he brings a pragmatic, user-focused approach to bridging complex environmental models and usable web interfaces. An understated strength is his knack for automating engineering workflows—turning legacy modeling outputs into interoperable, documented applications.
