Hello, I'm

Matthew Timms

I'm a software engineer based in Melbourne, Australia.

I specialise in building products.

I'm experienced in full-stack software development, building for cloud & architecting cloud infrastructure, & building with the latest technologies as they arise over the past years: computer-vision, LLMs, RAG, AI voice agents, etc.

I'm probably too busy to update this site.
