Matt Swann

Web Developer, Graphic Designer & Business Strategist, BFA Industries

Matt Swann is a full stack web developer specialising in Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML5, PHP and advanced CSS3. After tending to bars & restaurants for over 20 years, Matt decided to follow his true calling and pursue a career as a web developer.

Having built many WordPress & Joomla sites as a freelancer over the past 6 years, he thought it would be beneficial to broaden his skills and undertake the Web Development Immersive course at General Assembly. Matt is currently the developer in residence at General Assembly in Melbourne and is confident in saying that he has been bitten by the coding bug!
