About Me
![Photo of myself](/img/matt-benton.jpg)
Formerly in the field of education, I moved into web development and started building websites for clients in 2016. Since then I have nurtured an enjoyment for building applications that has motivated me to continue growing and developing my skills.
My goal when developing is to deliver simple, easy-to-use solutions that are as intuitive as possible. I focus on delivering the best experience to the user. Additionally, I write tests in order ensure reliability and make sure that the project is easily maintainable for the long-term.
In addition to web development I also hike, ride my bike, and enjoy videogames in my free time.
