114  <h2>A bit about me</h2>
115
116<p>I am Matt Galloway, a mobile app developer based in London, UK. I have a few of my <a href="/code">own apps</a> and also provide <a href="http://www.swipestack.com/">consultancy</a> through my company, <a href="http://www.swipestack.com/">Swipe Stack Ltd</a>, for people interested in realising an app of their own.</p>
117
118<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="/images/avatar.png" alt="Matt Galloway" /></div>
119
120
121<p>I grew up taking things aparts, putting things back together, building things &amp; developing software in my spare time. So when I got the chance to go to university I took aim at a suitable subject, Engineering. I read the Engineering tripos at University of Cambridge from 2003-2007 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Since then I have gone on to do many software development jobs not limited to mobile development, but that&rsquo;s firmly where I have planted myself now.</p>
