About

I’m Matt, or Johno, I am in my early 30s, I’m a tech lead, software engineer and architect, a doting Dad to my 9 year old son (Leo) and baby daughter (Kaida) and loving husband to my better half, Felicity.

I have been working in this industry since around 2008. In that time I have worked for, and with, everything from startups, tech firms, and software as a service providers, through to financial institutions and multi-billion dollar global corporations and social media companies.

I am passionate about digital transformation, open source, and freedom of the internet. I am an advocate of the rights of all people.

When I’m not working or carrying out Daddy duties, I’m a keen martial artist. I’m the Head Coach for Oubaitori Karate Club, 1x World Karate Union Kumite Champion, 1x World Karate Union Kumite Silver Medalist, 2x World Karate Union English Champion in Kata (forms/patterns) and Kumite (sparring/fighting).
