About me

Where can I be found?

My GitHub showcases a range of repositories highlighting the projects I’ve developed and contributed to. I also stay updated with industry news on Bluesky, and occasionally connect professionally on LinkedIn.

I can also be reached at me@mattfinucane.com. If you're contacting me offering web and SEO services, I already have these covered. Thanks.

My background

I'm a Full-Stack software engineer based in Berlin with more than 20 years of professional experience building web and mobile applications.

My interest in technology began in the late 1990s through web design, digital graphics and software development.

After graduating with honours in Computer Applications from Dublin City University in 2005, I began my career at AOL and have since worked across a range of industries including media, travel, e-commerce and localisation.

Along the way, I've lived and worked in Ireland, England, France and Germany, collaborating with startups, agencies and international product companies both remotely and on-site.

Engineering principles

Over the years I've found that the best solutions tend to be the simplest ones. I favour clear, maintainable code, incremental improvement, and pragmatic decision-making over unnecessary complexity.

I believe good engineering is as much about communication and collaboration as it is about writing code. Strong teams share knowledge, challenge assumptions respectfully, and continuously look for ways to improve the products they build.
