Matthew Bowley is a software developer with eight years of experience specializing in front-end engineering and embedded LED systems, currently working at Musco Lighting from Edinburgh. He combines practical firmware and animation programming developed during hands-on LED installations on the US West Coast with web UI work—contributing notable front-end fixes and features to the open-source LedFx project that drives real-time audio-reactive lighting. A former freelance software engineer and partner in a lighting design venture, he bridges client-focused product design and low-level implementation, shipping polished user interfaces and device integrations. Trained as a chemist at the University of Edinburgh, he brings a methodical, experimental mindset to debugging and feature design, and a playful curiosity that’s summed up on GitHub as “Makes LEDs shine.”
