Testimonials

“Matt has a rare combination of strong creative and technical abilities, and his contribution to the multimedia projects that I was involved with was always outstanding.”
Jason Ryan, Production Director / Information Architect, Cogapp

“Matt is not only a talented programmer – notably in Flash/ActionScript but also in other technologies – but he also brings a wide range of other interests and skills to his work. This combination means that he has been an excellent technical and creative asset across a wide range of projects. I would be delighted to work with him again, and I’m pleased to have the opportunity to recommend him here.”
Rory Matthews, Creative Director/Design Director, Cogapp

“Matt is one of most gracious, talented technical directors I have ever worked with. At ease with clients, Matt is highly creative and a brilliant asset to any team. The quality of his award-winning work speaks for itself. Gold dust.”
Rifa Bhunnoo, Producer, Littleloud

“Matt was instrumental in driving forward a development strategy for our in-house tools that really acknowledged and met the needs of the day-to-day users. This very focussed effort has enabled us to realise operational efficiencies that were simply not possible before. Matt’s enthusiasm for promoting new ideas and technologies within the organisation has also been a very positive force within Futuremedia, and I am certain he will be an asset to any company that values clear, strategic thinking around its use of technology.”
Laurence Scotford, Head of Learning Design, Futuremedia plc

“Matt was employed as Head of Development, charged with managing up to 8 developers, as well as ensuring the timely deliverance of up to 30 concurrent projects. Matt’s technical ability combined with his creative insight was key to us delivering projects to time and budget and would highly recommend him as a trused and hard working employee.”
Marc van den Berg, Vice President Operations, Futuremedia plc

“Matt is thoughtful, knowledgable and possesses an exceptional understanding of the future of digital media. He is well liked by friends and colleagues and admired for his level-headedness and unflinching honesty. I would hire him in a second for any role requiring both pragmatic ability and a team-player mentality.”
