Biography
Matthew got his first computer at the age of 12, an 8Mhz green screen machine in an era of Pentium processors and Windows 95. Despite it being as old as he was, he used it a lot. Given a Pentium 90 machine a few years later, Matthew's first technical experience of a computer was reinstalling Windows 95 on a monthly basis... from 30 floppy disks!
From here on, Matthew's interest in computers grew. In 2002 he did his work experience with a local computer shop and not long after, Matthew built his first new computer, which he still uses to this day.
He made his first website in early 2003 and has continued to gain interest and experience in web-development. Matthew is currently working as a freelance web-developer.
