Every day, Matt lends his considerable technical skills as a web developer to enhance Avalon’s digital team. As a Digital Production Director, Matt builds visually captivating emails and webpages, collaborates with clients and team members to ensure all digital products are top quality, and finds new ways to expand the department’s capabilities.
During his time working as a legal assistant at a law firm in 2010, he started coding on the side. Little did he know that he’d just discovered his career’s calling! He decided to leave the firm, focus on strengthening his skillset, and get credentialed at a coding bootcamp in Washington, D.C.
Matt has always loved working with nonprofits, so it felt natural to channel his expertise into helping organizations spread their message online. (Fun fact: his father was the head of a nonprofit, so in some ways, Matt was raised in this world!). He loves the final visual design as much as the back-end code, and he has both the technical knowledge and aesthetic eye to create unique, memorable digital experiences that delight clients and audiences alike.
Matt lives in Washington, D.C. and in his spare time, he indulges in video games, live music, TV shows, and reading. He’s also built quite a few of his own apps, including one that counts stitches for knitters and crocheters!
