Hi, I’m Matt Murden, a second-year Computer Science undergraduate at the University of Birmingham with a passion for building projects that make an impact for people and businesses. I’ve built an iOS reselling tracker in Swift and Firebase to help users manage products more efficiently, supported businesses like TM Solicitors and iParcelBox with digital solutions and marketing, and grown my own registered clothing brand, Toned Designs LTD, from the ground up. As part of that, I’ve designed custom Shopify themes and am currently developing a Shopify app to enhance store performance and user experience.
My work spans both frontend and backend development. I particularly enjoy frontend design and digital marketing, creating user experiences that are visually engaging and effective, but I also have hands-on experience with backend systems through the projects I’ve developed. This mix has given me a strong understanding of how design, technology, and business come together to deliver complete solutions.
Alongside my technical work, I bring an entrepreneurial mindset. I spot challenges, design solutions, and push them into the real world.
Outside of computing, I play hockey and captained my college 1st team at a high competitive level, which developed my leadership, discipline, and teamwork under pressure. I also enjoy experimenting with creative projects that combine design, technology, and business. I’m now seeking a year-in-industry placement starting in 2026, where I can contribute both technical expertise and entrepreneurial drive to a forward-thinking team.
