Matt has been developing software professionally for 21 years and started nearly 10 years before that. As part of a secret government program to train 11 year olds to hack, Matt started out on a brand-new Apple IIe, creating a database of G.I. Joe action figures and animating lo-rez graphics in Applesoft Basic. Since then, Matt's moved on to OOA/OOD/OOP and is currently a distributed systems software architect and project manager.
