Matthew Nanas

My name is Matthew Nanas. I am a self-taught software engineer who is passionate about driving a positive impact and seeing real results through my work. I have an educational background in general engineering (early college program) and information science (Bachelor's from UMD). From personal passion projects to startups, to non-profits, to institutional research and development, to the federal government, to a Fortune 500, to small companies -- I've experienced it all through internship, part-time, full-time, and night and weekend work. I love to geek out and learn just about everything so if you'd love to chat reach out to me.
