PETER MATTHEWS
SOFTWARE ENGINEERBA (Hons) Graphic DesignPGCE Design & TechnologyCONTACT MEABOUT ME
I'm a problem solver and a curious learner who loves a good challenge. I made a career switch from teaching and leading Design & Technology in Secondary Schools to become a Software Engineer and I haven't looked back since.
When I'm not at my computer, you'll usually find me exploring Manchester with my dogs or hanging out with friends; probably on the hunt for food or Pokémon cards! I did used to live in the suburbs... but food, coffee, arts and culture forced me to become a full-on city-dweller.
