Matthew Kelly
Full Stack Web Developer
Summary
Full stack web developer with a flair for the creative. Nothing thrills me more than diving head-first into unfamiliar concepts and rapidly developing a new skill set. My background in customer/client and inter-team relationships allows me to prioritize the value of collaboration and communication, as both a developer and a teammate. When I'm away from the keyboard, I can be found staging and supporting community theatre or dominating the local trivia scene.
