Summary
Matthew Seabrook is a versatile software engineer and technical leader with a multi-decade hands-on career spanning developer support, full-stack development, DevOps, technical writing, and product-focused contracting. He has built developer platforms, knowledge bases, and proof-of-concept systems for enterprise clients while also shipping indie projects from mobile apps to a planned game engine release, blending C/C++, Python, JavaScript/React and low-level systems work. A former Developer Support Manager and team lead at BlackBerry and Igloo, he pairs customer-facing technical empathy with the ability to reverse-engineer legacy systems—his stream projects have even surfaced emulator RAM via REST and reimplemented vintage media engines. Outside software he brings commercial construction experience as a corporate director, giving him uncommon skills in estimation, project finance and boots-on-the-ground delivery. Based in Ontario and focused on remote or international roles, he thrives on mentoring, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and solving weird technical puzzles that bridge hardware, software and creative workflows.
