Matthew Meyers

I call myself a developer.

Inspired by the movie Hackers, I taught myself to program when I was 12. Twenty self-taught years later, I specialize in full-stack web development using JavaScript, React, Node.js, Go, and other related technologies. For specifics, see LinkedIn and GitHub.

But really, I’m a human.

Just like you. Trying to figure out this weird, wonderful, beautiful existence. I’m driven by a desire for connection, well-being, and questions like:

• Why is there so much suffering in the world, regardless of circumstance?
• What can I, as an individual, do about it?
• How can I bring more compassion into my day-to-day interactions?
• How can I use my inborn privileges to reduce the suffering of those without?

Update: In 2020, I returned to school to become a therapist

Inspired by the questions above, I am now in the process of becoming a mental health counselor. I am no longer open to work, but still feel free to say hello@matthewmeye.rs.
