About Me

My name is Matthew Kirby and I'm a Senior studying Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have a passion for technology and problem solving that I fulfill by spending most of my time tinkering with or learning new technologies. When I'm not busy coding you can probably find me relaxing with a good book at a local coffee shop or playing board games with my friends!
