Matt Bayliss

Developer and problem-solver for high-volume campaigns, websites, and internal tools.

About

I’m a developer with a strong agency background, specialising in front-end build quality, email engineering, and practical tooling that helps marketing teams move faster. I’m comfortable working solo or leading delivery with designers, stakeholders, and devs — from scoping and estimation through to QA and handover.

Highlights

  • National Express — CRM Developer (Dec 2022–Present) Build and deploy high-volume CRM campaigns using Salesforce Marketing Cloud, creating responsive, accessible HTML emails with dynamic content and AMPscript. Manage end-to-end campaign delivery, optimisation, testing, and reporting to drive engagement and revenue.
  • WordPress builds, client support, mentoring, migrations, and delivery planning.
  • Built internal tools including reporting hubs and workflow systems (tutor hub, booking/document management).
  • Deep email experience: responsive builds, campaign setup, data handling, agency delivery across multiple brands.
  • Comfortable across modern stacks (React/TypeScript/Node) and classic web tooling (PHP/MySQL/Apache).
