Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew O'donoghue is an experienced JavaScript engineering consultant with 14 years focused on building high-performance web UIs and serverless Node.js services for global brands, from PizzaExpress and Pret to LEGO and Goldman Sachs. He combines hands-on full-stack delivery with tech leadership—spinning up teams, shaping architecture, and championing Agile, TDD and user-centred design to ship reliable, high-volume transactional systems. His work spans modern cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), serverless patterns, and data-rich front ends using React, Next.js and GraphQL, often turning multi-week processes into realtime workflows. Comfortable both mentoring teams and digging into implementation details, he repeatedly delivers production services that scale to millions of users. Unusually for a consultant, he pairs an English Literature BA with an MSc in Internet Technologies, which helps him bridge technical design with clear product-focused communication.
