Background

Hello, I'm Matthew. I'm a technical delivery leader with a background in software development, product delivery, solution architecture, and agile leadership. I help teams turn complex digital, AI, and XR ideas into practical products that can be scoped, built, released, and supported.

My work spans education, retail, commercial platforms, and emerging technology. I've led delivery across enterprise systems, staff platforms, AI enablement, ecommerce integrations, web applications, and immersive XR experiences.

I'm currently Head of XR & Web Development at 3D Walkabout, leading delivery across immersive XR experiences, AI-enabled workflows, and modern web platforms for enterprise and commercial projects.
