Hello 👋, I'm Matthew Lintern-Monro, but I go by Matt

Who am I?

I consider myself to be a polyglot with various interests. If I'm unfamiliar with a language and its technlogies (frameworks, libraries etc), I will teach myself these to get a project done, something I've had to do in and outside of industry. These various interests are:

• Systems Programming. I love understanding how things work at their most basic level. Essentially creating software for software.
• Scientific Computing. My interest in Programming and Computer Science started from my time at University, using Fortran to model the Earths Geomagnetic Field and the Fluid Dynamics of Earths Core.
• Blockchain Development. I'm new to this but will be doing something project wise soon.
• Quant Development. I love C++ and the idea of attempting to develop a basic Low Latency Trading System sounds amazing. It would be great to try this using Rust too.

However, I'm also looking at developing software thats a bit more "general purpose", such as the project I'm currently working on.

What I'm up to?

• 🌱 I’m currently working on:

What do I love?

• Rust.
• Golang.
• C.
• Modern C++.
• Fortran.
• MATLAB.
• Data Structures & Algorithms.
• Bash Scripting.
• High Performance Computing: I love seeing how HPC can help with Scientific/Simulation problems. I'm keen to start learning about the SYCL framework too.
• Computational Science. Like my repo's show, I love developing Numerical Algorithms to solve Scientific and Engineering Problems.
• Systems Programming: I love knowing how things work under the hood. E.g. Compilers and Operating Systems (Linux).
• Data Science.
• Data Engineering.
• Scientific Programming: Modelling and Simulation of problems in Fluid Dynamics & the Physical Sciences.
• Applied Mathematics: E.g. Numerical Analysis, Linear Algebra, Ordinary/Partial Differential Equations and (Computational) Fluid Dyanamics.

What are you interested in?

Take a look at these repositories; some of my applications might interest you and might help you out in some way. Or you might look at them and think "Why on Earth has he done it that way, when he could have done it this way!". If thats the case, please let me know as I'm always looking to better myself and my applications.
