// the human behind the pig

Hi, I’m Matt.

I build software for a living and for fun, which probably says something about me that my therapist and I should discuss. By day I run a few companies; by night I build tools that scratch my own itch. SQLly is one of those tools - born from frustration, fueled by caffeine, and guarded by a bespectacled pig.

I’ve been writing code longer than I haven’t, and I’ve spent an unreasonable amount of that time staring at database clients that were clearly designed by people who had never had to use them. So I built one that I’d actually want to use. Then I put a pig on it. Because why not.

My Companies

SQLly isn’t my first rodeo. I run a few businesses that keep the lights on and the coffee flowing. Here’s where the rest of my time goes when I’m not arguing with a pig about button placement.

ERP software. The unglamorous, absolutely-essential backbone that keeps businesses running. I’ve been building it, breaking it, and fixing it for years.

Casino gaming software. Yes, really. It’s a lot of math, a lot of regulation, and a lot of making sure the house always wins - but fairly.

I’ve been building and selling custom software since I was 14. ERPs, games, internal tools, weird one-offs - if it runs on a computer, I’ve probably built it. Now I help other companies get theirs right.

Find me out there

I’m around. Feel free to poke me on LinkedIn, check out my code on GitHub, or just stare at my profile wondering who this guy is and why there’s a pig on his database tool.
