About Matt
My name is Matt Legend Gemmell (yes, really – and it’s Matt, not Matthew). I’m a Mac OS X (Cocoa) and iPhone developer living in Edinburgh, Scotland. You can hire me for your own projects via my site at Instinctive Code.
You can get in touch with me using any of these methods:
- Email via my Gmail account (matt.gemmell)
- AIM/iChat: MadMcProgrammer
- MSN: mulderuk (hotmail.com)
- Google Talk: matt.gemmell (Gmail)
- Twitter: mattgemmell
As I mentioned, I’m a programmer. I’ve always loved writing code to solve problems, and I particularly like creating elegant and intuitive user interfaces. The job title I prefer is Software Architect, because I feel it best represents what I do.
The languages I most often code in are Objective-C and ANSI C, using the Cocoa frameworks on Mac OS X, and I’ve also built more than my fair share of web applications and sites. I have experience in at least a dozen languages and a host of technologies. That’s true of most people in this line of work these days, right?
I’ve released various pieces of Cocoa source code over the past few years; feel free to have a browse through it.
I live with my fiancée Lauren Dempster. Lauren’s a Comp Sci Honours geek too (she’s a Java developer for Amazon), but somehow also manages to be a gorgeous girl with a great sense of humour, and an excellent dancer. Here’s a pic of us on holiday in summer 2005, and here’s one of us at my Graduation Ball. If you like looking at other people’s photos, I guess you might want to look through my Flickr account too.
