Bio
Kevin Wade
Michael and I first met at BSU while we were both getting our EMBA degrees. I came to know Michael as an out of the box thinker who has a no frills attitude about getting the work done. As a fellow technologist I was always impressed with Michaels ability to come up with creative solutions and try new approaches to solving problems. I know that Michaels leadership at Matraex has built a successful company that strives to prove great value for their clients. Michael is also community minded and wants to share his extensive knowledge in mobile development space with others.

Michael was hired to build software for Sentinel Healthware. During this time, Michael proved himself to be a consummate professional with high level attention to detail and phenomenal follow-up. In the time since, Michael has become one of my closest friends.
David Kent
I've worked very closely with Michael over the past 6 years on a comprehensive software project. He has an amazing ability to sort out and comprehend complex problems and problem solve. He has overcome every obstacle put in his way with our project. I highly recommend him for whatever software project he attempts.

Matraex is one of several businesses I've formed or have been involved with over the years. As a start-up, I've grown this company into a competitive web and mobile app development business that drives the creativity and possibilities across a full portfolio of client projects.

As a start-up, I've grown this company into a competitive web and mobile app development business that drives the creativity and possibilities across a full portfolio of client projects. Although I oversee day-to-day development and implementation, my true passion begins in the early stages of projects. This is when I guide clients through the many front-end and back-end possibilities. Clients want applications that generate significant ROI, build brand recognition, and are easy for their clients to use and navigate. Currently, I manage 3 implementation teams who are developing apps for clients here in Idaho and around the world. As the project strategist, I drive complete product development, focusing heavily on ideation and innovation, because that initial involvement stretches the client's vision into a more scalable and robust solution. Several areas where I excel include: —Developing New & Taking Over Existing Projects —Building Teams & Improving Team Performance —Defining End Goals & Expectations —Implementing Quality Control Measures High-Profile Clientele — Hewlett Packard/49ers, Better Business Bureau (BBB), Penn State University, Weyerhaeuser, Madison Square Garden, Plexus Worldwide, Rekluse, and Idaho Hospital Association Show less Matraex is one of several businesses I've formed or have been involved with over the years.

Upon joining Evolution, I pioneered an EMR software that would manage the medical records and accounting activities (e.g., billing, time tracking) for staff at the outpatient clinic. The company not only wanted to centralize the storage of medical records, they needed to reduce the amount of time their administrative and medical staff spent on various tasks. We set out to develop an on-demand EMR system that was HIPAA compliant and handled other critical areas of their operation. This meant… Show more Upon joining Evolution, I pioneered an EMR software that would manage the medical records and accounting activities (e.g., billing, time tracking) for staff at the outpatient clinic.

As the project progressed, we introduced a full portfolio of features, including appointment scheduling, patient/staff communications, payment system, and so on.
