Matt Walters’s Summary

I am a Web Developer located in Richmond, VA. Primarily, I work on the back-end of websites utilizing my database and desktop application coding experience from the past to achieve desired results for the user interface. Recently however I have started moving more into the UI realm, utilizing JavaScript and AJAX to allow for better performance out of the back-end systems.

Beyond the world of computers, I’m completely addicted to gadgets in my everyday life and enjoy practicing my amateur photography.
