Matthew Malecki

Just trying to make things work.

I'm a software engineer based in Chicago, IL with emphasis in front-end/back-end development and occasional design.

About me

I think my first calling as a dev was when I was around 9 years old and I wrote a script hidden behind a youtube link that would restart my friends computers. My favorite part about development is chasing the ever fleeting skill-ceiling, theres room for infinite growth and that's truly exciting. I enjoy spending my time creating web applications and navigating new technologies. When I'm not pulling my hair out tackling leetcode algorithms or building applications I really enjoy Hiking, Kayaking, and playing piano.

My primary tech stack at the moment, but not limited to, is Javascript, Node.js, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, HTML5, CSS3.

Working On: Building an Ecommerce Application in Laravel modeled after amazon.
