About Me
I'm Matthew. I'm a student in North Wales, studying A levels in Biology, Chemistry and Maths, being particularly interested in the human body, considering applying for a degree related to anatomy and biomedical sciences.
I'm heavily involved in the voluntary sector locally, and undertake freelance web design and application development in my own time.
Please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions.
Web Design
In 2009, I got back into commercial web design and moved slightly towards plugin and web application development.
I've done extensive work on a small number of projects as a freelancer, under my Slync brand, I've written for Sitepoint and I released a commercial WordPress plugin.
All of this is quite new, however I'm very actively extending my work, and will be updating this soon.
St John Ambulance in Wales
My main volunteering activity is with St John Ambulance in Wales. I have been involved for a few years, and regularly give up large blocks of my time to provide first aid cover at events.
Since joining, I have gone on to lead a successful application for Welsh Assembly funding to launch Wales' first operational cycling unit.
Funky Dragon
I was elected to represent the Conwy voluntary sector on Funky Dragon, Wales' Youth Assembly , representing the views of young people nationally.
Further to this, I am involved, as a Funky Dragon representative, with the Conwy Youth Concil, which meet monthly and perform a cimilar function on a local level.
