Hi, I'm Matt
I'm an aspiring software developer, a music producer, a tech enthusiast, and a proud cat owner!
I've been programming for a little over a year now, and primarily program in the Java and C# programming language. I like to write applications that use the Spigot API, as well as general purpose programs ranging from discord bots to maven plugins!
I'm learning how to write JS and plan to learn how to code in C++ and C in the future!

GitHub Documentation
Tick (Temporary Database Maven Plugin)
Tick is a docker-delegating maven plugin used to set up temporary testing databases
Tick exists to replace TestContainers as a temporary code-generation database, as TestContainers is full of dubious code and hacky reflection calls
Tick is a maven plugin and comes both in an all in one code generation plugin as well as a simple temporary database start/stop plugin

Some of the people I've worked with
QTeam Development LLC
I am one of the two co-owners of QTeam Development, working as the development manager, and have written and overseen many high-quality Java plugins made for clients there.
SolarMC Dev Team
I'm one of the developers on this amazing upcoming minigame server, mainly handling the backend code.
ElytraForce
I was the lead developer of ElytraForce Networks, a large minigame network focusing on games that did what other servers did not: innovate! We worked heavily with the Spigot API as well as with SQL and some noSQL data-storage.
