About Me

I'm a self-taught developer building toward a career at the intersection of AI/ML, cybersecurity, and software engineering. My stack is Python for logic-heavy work and Go for performance-critical tools, with React when the project needs a frontend.

Matt Gresham

I started programming to scratch my own itch — the Finance Kit began as a school submission and grew into a full-stack deployed app. That pattern repeats across my work: I build something I'd actually use, then push it until it's production-ready.

Current focus: cybersecurity tooling, machine learning fundamentals, QA work as Head of Testing at Polaris Student, and web development for Neurole.org.
Looking for the academic record — coursework, awards, activities, service, and college plans? That lives on the Academics page.

Work Experience

Polaris Student — Head of Testing

Head of Testing · Polaris Student · QA Leadership

Head of Testing for Polaris Student (polarisstudent.com), an all-in-one academic platform for high school students. Lead a three-person testing team, mentoring the other members through specific tech topics and platform components as needed. Own the QA process end to end — run manual test passes across the platform, file and triage bugs before releases, and write automated checks to catch regressions on core flows.

Neurole — Web Developer
