🧍About Me

A brief description of myself

Hi! I'm Matthew, a software engineer and escape room enthusiast. If you'd like to learn more about me and my work you can check out my personal portfolio: matthewmercado.dev

My journey started at Mount St. Mary's University while earning my degree in Computer Science.

While working at Escape This Frederick, I was captivated by the thrill of escape rooms. I created their website (escapethisfrederick.com) and managed it to be one of Maryland's most popular escape rooms. Over six years and 100+ games later, I realized the need for a more streamlined way to manage these rooms.

So, I created Escape Director for my senior capstone project. It's a tool that simplifies room management and performance tracking for game masters.

What began as a university project is now a fully-fledged web application, aiding game masters worldwide. I'm excited about our future adventures together!
