Hi! I’m Matt Kirman.
I’m a software developer specialising in web application development, founder of Imagen Technology and the Technical Operations Manager at an e-commerce company based in Lincoln, UK. I am also, apparently, an ENTP. Make of that what you will.
I was formerly the co-founder of Redflex LLP, a startup aiming at providing the best in editorial led hyper-local media. After (briefly) branching out into micro-blogging and other SAAS applications, Redflex was eventually shut down in March 2010.
I love trying out new programming languages and platforms. I cut my teeth on PHP and Scheme, but I can now usually be found working with my go to languages of choice, Ruby and JavaScript. I’m even trying out Objective-C for an iPhone app.
You should follow me on Twitter and Github. If you know me, friend me on Facebook. You can also contact me at matt@mattkirman.com.
