About Me

Thanks for checking out my site!
I'm Matt, a Web Developer based in London, UK  

My coding journey began during the first lockdown of the COVID-19 Pandemic after a lifelong interest in computers. Since then coding has truly transformed my life, and I'm constantly striving to learn and grow as a developer.

I specialize in client-side web development, with a growing interest in server-side technologies. I'm passionate about creative design and thrive in collaborative team environments.

When i'm not building websites, i'm on my guitar, writing songs and playing live in my indie/folk duo with my twin brother.

Random fact: My favourite food is Fried Chicken. 🍗
