Mat Johns is an agile software engineer, hands-on architect, and a general technologist based in London. His experience with the Web reaches all the way back to his misspent youth and some rather hacktastic code, but eventually he grew up to graduate from the University of Southampton with a Masters in Computer Science with Distributed Systems and Networks. He has worked for a number of startups on various web projects and systems since then and nowadays he specializes in designing and creating high performance and scalable web services, currently in the Internet TV world.

Away from technology, he is an avid explorer and endeavors to seek out new destinations and adventures as much as possible. He is also a qualified yacht skipper and regularly races in, around, and beyond the Solent.
