About
![Matt Lake portrait](/assets/img/profile_img.png)
I am a child of the 80s, with a young family living in a sleepy village in Gloucestershire.
My first line of code was on a Commodore 64 when I was in primary school, and had the bug ever since.
By day I am a Software Engineer in telecoms in the UK, using mostly .NET and PHP. By night I am a husband and father of two. In any spare time I can find, I usually turn to Lego or Xbox.
Having worked in a few industries previously, I rekindled an interest for code in my spare time. This interest led to a ‘fulltime’ hobby consuming most spare minutes I had. I learnt multiple languages from online resources and courses, expanding my knowledge and understanding of HTML, CSS, PHP, javaScript, and Python.
