What People Say

“Matt and his team have assisted us on numerous projects from simple to complex over the years and the best comment I can make is that it always feels like working with our own in-house tech team. From maintaining budget targets while managing detail, to consulting on project scope and opportunities, Step 7 Consulting is a trusted resource.”

Jeff Scully
President, Ortlieb USA

“I hired Matt and it didn’t take long for him to become an essential part of our success. He has served as the chief software architect and team leader for two major platforms. Both involved building new products from the ground up and each presenting extremely complex technology challenges. In each case he led the development team and product launches to great success. He’s unique in that he possess deep technical knowledge but also has a business mindset which together results in a “get it done – no matter what” mentality. From leveraging AI to software architecture, modern Web development frameworks, SQL database design, API platform development, AWS infrastructure, and organization processes to technology strategy and executive engagement – Matt does all of them exceptionally well. Our relationship has grown over the years and he’s grown to be one of my most trusted advisers / resources. Simply put, I recommend him highly!”
