Hi there 👋

My name's Matt, and I'm available for hire! I'm on the look out for Senior/Staff level opportunities at Series A/B growth-stage startups, and bonus points if you're building with Golang. Here are some places you can reach me:

• On X @EatsIndigo
• On LinkedIn @matthew-bridges

You can read my CV @Itsindigo/CV

🌱 I’m currently learning ...

• How to write really effective Go
• What's possible with LLM's on stacks like LangChain

🔎 Some things I believe about writing great software ...

• Prototyping is the best way to share and validate ideas
• Agile is dead 💀 - empower high-agency engineers in low-process environments
• Healthy, open communication is essential, bonus points if it's asynchronous with a heavy slant towards written communication
• Great engineering culture is bottom-up, not top-down

💻 Some Software Practices I love ...

• Directly Responsible Individuals!
• Stacked PRs!
• Review your own code before anyone else does!
• Cloud Native Environments
• Distributed Task Processors
• The Ports and Adapters Pattern (Hexagonal Architectures!)
• Low Abstraction SQL ORMS

🛠️ My favourite things to work on are ...

• Nifty little tools that simplify every day tasks
• Seeing a project through the full life-cycle, from "Is this even possible?" though to a production service supported with real-time monitoring.

⛩️ Some other things I believe ...

• Fostering a healthy level of self-esteem, and prioritising good sleep above all else will take you farther than anything else you're doing

⚡️ Fun fact ...

• I ran my first marathon this year!

devhub's Issues

Writing feature tests for home page

Oauth

Create authorisation link on the devhub homepage

Write a unit test to check for avatars in the api response

6. Create a dummy database/user list to test downstream user stories

So we can work on multiple user stories at once while we're setting up the Git api, we should create a short test list of perhaps 5 usernames to run searches on.

Land an api request on the homepage

WRITE THE TESTS!

5. Following homepage, deploy to heroku

3. GITHUB API

As a hiring partner
So I can view information about Github users rapidly
I want a list of Github users

Plug into the GitHub search API and implement the functionality to search github uses through a form on DevHub's home page.

Protractor/Karma Test Setup

Adding support to project for E2E and Unit testing frameworks.

4. Create Homepage path

Test drive the creation of the first path

Heroku/Node config
