Formerly, led small but sharp team of developers in DC. Presently, data developer on trade desk with annual trading volume exceeding $200 billion.
I have a deep understanding of Excel functionality.
I am able to create complex financial calculators, have a strong understanding of VBA macros, and also bring a near expert level of integration with the Excel Primary Interop Assembly and Excel Add In development.
I have over 6 years of WordPress development experience. I have a deep knowledge of WordPress as a platform, extending well beyond its roots as a CMS.
I have worked on a wide variety of WordPress projects that have integrated old databases, interfaced with external APIs, and built out any number of custom features. This work includes plugin development, custom post types, and WP Multisite as well.
Additionally, I have background in resolving WordPress performance issues for sites operating on unexpected scale or underpowered hardware.
I work on a trade desk responsible for an annual trading volume over $200 billion. My primary tasks are 1) collection, 2) cleaning/normalizing, 3) distribution, of the data that back ends those trades.
I develop systems that are able to learn about the data they are processing, and improve in the way it is done. I develop systems that are able to distribute reports in a variety of formats for a number of level of stakeholders. And I develop effective and efficient methods of capturing the desired data.
If you are curious, I am happy to talk more about this work and how it could be used in your organization.
I also recommend this free ebook available through O'Reilly Media (I have no connection, it's just a good mini-book - and it's free).

I have over 6 years experience as a software developer, first working in a Linux/Apache/PHP/MySQL focus, and now working in a more broad developer role that uses mostly C# and AngularJS while interacting with a number of modern services and libraries, such as Amazon Web Services.
My more recent professional work has made unique use of the Excel Primary Interop Assembly with a learning method to normalize and structure previously non-uniform data.
In my off hours I work on side projects with Firebase/NoSQL and AWS or Google Cloud Platform.
I have provided planning and strategy support to a number of clients.
I have worked with companies across the country in planning out projects specifications, finding and vetted vendors for both internal and external needs, managed in-house developers as well as contractors, and now work "on the inside" with an medium-sized company with a unique set of technology needs.
Matthew is a very serious and motivated student in my entrepreneurship class. In addition, he has the entrepreneurial gift of creativity in seeing opportunity for new enterprise where others may not.
Matthew is a visionary leader who effectively organizes details and people to achieve his strategic goals. His relational skills and strong character not only help him be an effective networker but also inspire trust and confidence in the people with whom he works.
I've worked with Matthew for a good part of this past year and strongly recommend him. He works collaboratively and has taken the lead with complex office challenges. I particularly noticed his ability to introduce new IT tools into a busy group that is concerned with other work and needed to be gently but persistently nudged. Furthermore, he demonstrated an apptitude to navigate sensitive office relationships and arrange meetings in the midst of challenging schedules. He's a strong strategic thinker and an energetic man with follow-through. I enjoy working with him.
Matthew has hit the ground running for our non-profit, quickly organizing administrative functions, taking initiative to solve problems, and above all helping us to formulate and execute a strategy to revamp our website to better serve our constituency. He is bring, energetic, persistent and visionary. He has a rare combination of both strategic thinking and tactically detailed execution.
Matthew is a creative and hard-working person who is enjoyable to work with and inspiring to know. His ability to construct a platform where student's opinions and ideas could be heard in an unbiased arena demonstrated Matthew's knack for leadership and organization. Matthew Gladney is someone I trust and respect as an entrepreneurial leader.
Matthew and his company Millezine performed surveys and statistical analysis for Community IT Innovators that we could not have performed ourselves, taking us through the process and delivering super results. He was wonderfully empowering to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Matthew and his colleague provided clear analysis, prompt communication, and were an excellent resource to my company as they assisted us in developing, conducting, and reviewing results for several important customer surveys.
