Matt Wilson
Full Stack Engineer
4 years shipping production-ready software — investment platforms, fintech mobile apps, and financial tooling.
About
Got into programming after discovering Bitcoin in 2022 — fell down the rabbit hole, started building, and never stopped. 4 years later I've shipped production-ready fintech applications, including an investment management platform handling $4B in AUM.
I specialise in TypeScript across the full stack, and I care about producing code that outlives itself — through thorough test coverage, clean architecture, and high standards at every layer of delivery.
Currently deepening my Azure expertise, working towards Solutions Architect certification after AZ-104.
Beyond the code — Enthusiastic amateur athlete and wannabe barista — two ultra marathons, a few questionable flat whites, and a helmet-strap tan from hundreds of hours on the road bike.

Ricardo Brito
Team Lead, Stonehage Fleming · 2025
I had the pleasure of working with Matt Wilson for two years in the IT Business Systems department. Matt is a true Swiss-army-knife developer, equally strong on the frontend and backend, with deep expertise in modern development languages. He highly contributed to the delivery of complex solutions, including a web application for monitoring and valuing a multi-billion fund and a mobile application for a Wealth Management firm. Highly reliable and exceptionally independent, Matt takes full ownership of his work and consistently thinks outside the box. I would recommend him without hesitation — he can build and deliver complete applications from scratch with confidence and skill.
