About

Hi I'm Matt King, and this is my blog. Kind of. It's more of an aggregation of the content I post around the Internet.

I'm a web developer born and raised in Portland, Oregon USA. I've lived there all my life, although the past few months I've moved temporarily to London. I'm heading back soon.

My career started when I was hired to build computers in a small shop in 1997. I've been in the industry ever since, learning new tricks and power-ups as I've gone along. I've done everything from assembling PCs, setting up networks and servers, and eventually to where I am now: building web sites.

I currently work at Instrument in Portland, Oregon, as a senior web developer.
