Matthew Harper is a software engineer based in Christchurch with eight years of hands-on experience building cross-platform applications and machine learning models. He’s currently at Partly and previously developed BLE-enabled iOS and Android apps and embedded Bluetooth C firmware to enable voice-controlled wheelchairs during an internship at Dynamic Controls. As a machine learning researcher at Victoria University of Wellington he modeled estuarine salinity, synthesized literature, and authored a paper accepted to IEEE WCCI 2024, demonstrating strength in turning research into published results. Comfortable across Swift, Kotlin, C and ML toolchains, he combines practical product delivery with data-driven decision making. A motivated University of Canterbury software engineering student, he’s looking for a graduate role where he can scale his impact and bridge research insights into production systems. Colleagues describe him succinctly: “I build stuff” — but with reproducible, research-backed outcomes.
