Matt Childs, british technology consulting proffesional portrait

I'm a British Technology Consulting Professional. I value a user centered approach and enjoy working in both advisory & delivery roles.

Over the past four years I have spent my time working as a DevOps engineer, but am currently focusing my attention on improving my back-end programming skills.

I am a Certified Associate Solution Architect on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and also have a small amount of experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure

I’m interested in design, engineering and improvement of both digital and physical spaces. I love to run, cycle, practice yoga and learn new things such as spoken & programming languages.

I'm currently based in London UK and work for Slalom an American consulting firm. I have worked in Italy, France and Taiwan. I am conversational in Mandarin Chinese, having lived and studied in Taichung Taiwan for a year in 2014.

If you'd like to contact me you can email me here.
