Matthew Higley

I’ve been a Front-End Developer for 15 years, a Senior Software Engineer since 2021, and contributed my expertise and experience to Bitwise Industries growth since its inception. Originally, after a brief stint as a 911 dispatcher, I found a web design and development technical training class through Institute of technology in Clovis. This opportunity opened the door for my journey to finally land with Bitwise in 2015. In addition to my technical role, I was entrusted with developing curriculum for bootcamp classes, sharing my knowledge and guiding aspiring software engineers. I was also selected as an original Dev Fellow for an apprenticeship program where I mentored talented individuals to level-up their expertise. Through continuous self-taught learning, I have expanded my skills, knowledge, and understanding of the industry. I am dedicated to making valuable contributions and staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in software engineering to drive innovation and create impactful solutions.

Bitwise Industries

During my tenure, the primary organizational website of Bitwise Industries underwent two and a half significant overhauls, involving complete rewrites and redesigns. With each iteration, notable improvements were made, building upon the success of the previous version. The WordPress administration interface was also revamped, prioritizing simplicity, and integrated with Gutenburg to facilitate the creation of custom templated blog posts. Each modification proved to be even more successful than its predecessor.

No Place Like Home Fest emerged as a response to the urgent necessity of engaging with the public during the peak of the COVID pandemic. It involved the establishment of an online platform that served as a showcase for talented artists and performers. By leveraging the capabilities of YouTube live streaming, Eventbrite, and a custom events platform, an innovative and thrilling at-home experience was crafted, unprecedented at that time.
