My name is Matt, I'm a 20-something computer programmer. I'm currently living in Mountain View, California; working for a particularly fruity, Cupertino based computer company. In here you'll find a bunch of photos, some links to my blog and the bits of software I was working on before I moved to California in 2010.
Head over to my blog, .us. My experiences moving from the UK to California at the start of 2010, my experimentation with photography and general rants about code, or you can have a look at the abstract of my latest post.
