Professional

Matthew Batchelder lives a Web Application Engineer’s life; his skills in development range from database design to server-side application development, from graphic design to interface design. He eats, drinks, and sleeps code - primarily PHP and Javascript. In addition to his code-monkey side, Matthew has been a presenter at SungardHE Summit, has taught and is a guest speaker in Plymouth State University computer science courses, and is an IT project manager at PSU.

Outside of Plymouth State University, Matthew is the co-founder of MasterWish and a member of the Taller Buildings think tank.

Personal

Matthew Batchelder
Much like his work life, Matthew codes for fun. His professional career and personal passtimes have merged, birthing a number of small Web Application side projects (as well as some WordPress plugins!). Beyond coding, Matthew hikes, plays racquetball, spends time with his wife, and lives a geekly life.

Through his blogs BorkWeb and Uber-Geeks, Matthew exposes his professional, geeky, and random tidbits of knowledge.

Uber-Geeks

This multi-author blog/forum site was born from the need of Matthew and his friends to have a web-based meeting/planning/gaming presence that is more centralized and convenient than picking up the phone.
