Matthew Long

Front-End Web Developer

Hi, I'm Matthew (or Matt - either's fine)! I'm a front-end developer who loves turning complex problems into simple, usable interfaces. For the past seven years, I've been using JavaScript, CSS, and modern frameworks like React and Next.js to build everything from polished full-stack applications to complex A/B tests for Fortune 500 companies.

I love working with designers to bring an idea to life (and have experience using tools like Figma to do it), but I also love having a hand in design, using my background in conversion optimization and analytics to inform decisions. My focus is always on building software that feels natural to use, solves real problems, and leaves people with a better experience than they expected.
