Matt Whalley

Frontend designer/developer crafting calm interfaces & scalable, accessible systems.

My approach is quiet but intentional: collaborative, systems-minded, and grounded in real-world usability. I'm looking for a remote-friendly team that values depth, quality, and long-term product health.

A distraction-free Apple Watch and iPhone app for hangboard training

I designed and built Hangtime to guide climbers through hangboard training routines using interval timers, haptics, and simple visual cues. The UI is intentionally distraction-free, optimized for glanceability during intense physical use.

Your digital surf shop call—honest conditions, local wisdom

As a South Florida kid in the 90s, I'd call the local surf shop every morning to hear local legend "Dutch" share the daily forecast. This is my digital homage to that ritual: combining buoy data, marine forecasts, and AI-generated surf reports to recreate the stoke.

I care more about what tools enable than the tools themselves—but I'm always experimenting and refining my workflow to build better software.
