Matthew Skilton

C# Developer / Umbraco Expert

I am passionate about Web Development and extremely lucky I get to do something I love evey day. In 2005 I wanted to become a Web Developer, bought all the ASP.NET, HTML, CSS books and self taught the ins & outs of web development. A lot has changed since 2005 and I still enjoy it to this day. I love writing code that works and gets results, I strive for positive feeback and I am continuely extending myself. I'm an active member of the Umbraco & nopCommerce communites.
