About Matt
Profile
After recently receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems Management from Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC, I am currently enrolled in Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College to continue my education with a Masters of Information Systems Management degree. My background in computers, software and web development, network and server management, computer maintenance, and other technical fields began when I was barely 4 years of age.
Background
My first computer came in an AT chassis with something along the lines of an i386 processor running at 16mhz. I now develop using a desktop utilizing a Pentium D 820, 4GB of RAM, and a 256MB nVidia GeForce 8600GT graphics card tied to a Gigabyte branded motherboard based on the Intel 945P chipset. I also run a Lenovo ThinkPad containing an Intel 2.4ghz Core2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128MB nVidia Quadro 140m mobile graphics card. These suit me pretty well for the time being.
My main background is with Microsoft Windows, although I can make a Apple OS X do some pretty mean tricks as well. Unix is not at all foreign to me as I administrate my own server running CentOS 5 and Apache 2 among other software packages.
Skills
I’m fluent in (or could easily pick up) just about any modern programming language available, including: Java, C#, VB 6 and .NET versions, C, C++, PHP, MASM, Python, Perl, bash scripting, and more. I am a self-proclaimed expert when it comes to web application development.
I currently work on a very part-time basis at Planworx Architecture in Raleigh, NC as a software developer and technical consultant.
I also work for myself on the side of everything else under the moniker Frontier Software Solutions.
