Top SchoolMatthew Wright is a senior software engineer and front-end enthusiast with nearly a decade of experience building and scaling modern web applications, from design-driven UIs to backend APIs and databases.

A longtime designer turned developer, he brings a strong accessibility and UX focus to high-fidelity prototypes and production UIs. He contributes to open-source tooling (notably improvements to Faust.js, the headless WordPress framework) and has a knack for pragmatic optimization, like refactoring sitemap routing and telemetry in real projects. Based in Omaha, Nebraska, he’s a lifelong learner who enjoys mentoring others and exploring emerging tech—or talking about fishing when not coding.
