Hey, I'm Matt Hoppitt

I build high-quality software

ABOUT ME

Back in 2014, I built my first HTML website and fell in love with the art of software engineering. Fast forward to today, equipped with a Bachelor of Information Systems and a fresh enthusiasm, I've now had the privilege of building software for one of Australia's largest insurers – and I'm just getting started.

I truly believe software development is all about problem solving. I love identifying opportunities, creating software to solve them and overcoming the frustrations in between. My ambition is to become a highly adaptable engineer that can solve problems no matter the tech stack.

With a background in Test Engineering, I have a unique eye for quality. I take pride in building robust solutions that cater for every need.

Some personal projects I've worked on

Many renters don't have contents insurance, and those that are insured may find it difficult to value their contents correctly. Home Asset Assist utilises machine learning to allow this market to get an accurate contents insurance quote within 2 minutes by simply walking around their home. Developed in a 48-hour hackathon.
