I live in Carlisle, Cumbria, in the UK, just north of the Lake District, and just south of the Scottish-English border.
I tend to drink large amounts of tea, eat unhealthily, bite my nails, spend too much time on Twitter, and i usually end up working late because i’ve spent too many hours in the day messing around with new things that i stumble across on the internet.
A day’s work for me usually largely consists of web development, frequently using either Codeigniter, Drupal, or WordPress. My main language of choice is PHP as you may have guessed, but i’m also at home in Javascript, HTML, CSS and on the command line*.
Occasionally i also dabble in design & iOS development, with a strong passion for things that work just as beautifully as they look.
Since July 2010, i’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Hydrant - a small but quickly growing team of people from all ends of our industry, coming together to make a great little business that has some fantastic national and international clients. I’m proud to be with them, mostly because we all have the same great attitude towards the people we work with. And because they really are a great bunch of people to work with.
You can get in touch with me by emailing dan[at]danmatthews.me, i’m currently not taking on freelance work, but i’m always interested to hear from people.
