Bradley Matera: Code, Projects, and Constant Learning

Welcome! I’m Bradley Matera, a Full Stack Software Engineer and a student at Full Sail University (B.S. in Web Development, expected October 2025, GPA ~3.8). Here you’ll find my projects, experiments, and the skills I’m working on, focused on building fast, accessible, and functional web applications using React, Node.js, MongoDB, Docker, and more.

What I Focus On

I build real applications that combine clean frontend design with practical backend functionality. Whether it's a responsive UI, API integration, or a custom tool, I make sure everything works as intended. See my Projects.

Quick Overview

  • Currently: Studying at Full Sail University, building new projects alongside coursework.
  • Background: Army veteran, problem-solver, and team player (see About for more).
  • Technical Focus: Full-stack JavaScript, cloud basics, and continuous improvement.
  • Recent: Completed AWS Cloud Support Internship (Summer 2025, Seattle).

Projects to Check Out

Why I Build

I focus on making things that are reliable, accessible, and practical. Every project is an opportunity to improve and learn something new, whether it’s a framework, a database, or a cloud service. I approach development with the same mindset I used in past roles: work steadily, fix problems directly, and keep moving forward.
