Bio
My name is Matthew O'Grady. I'm a front end web developer. Originally from Halifax, I moved to Vancouver to attend BCIT. I've now graduated from the New Media & Web Development program and I'm currently looking for work.
Background
Throughout my life I've had much exposure to all types of art forms and media. During the last year of attending the center of excellence I've been able to direct my focus toward designing and building for the web.
It's been a great opportunity to fuel my creativity and build on my knowledge. What I'm most interested in is building websites that are rich in appearance and presentation.
