About Matt
I am an overworked (and apparently overpaid) software developer with aspirations of acquiring a PhD in Computer Science. I started off coding in C over a decade ago. Since then, I've migrated from C to C++ and branched out to C#, PHP, VB.NET, JavaScript, and worked with a wide assortment of other languages that I hope to never deal with again (I'm looking at you, COBOL). Oh, and yes, I've written some Java. Does that make me a bad person?
