Hi there! I'm Matthew Crossland and I'm a front-end web developer based in Toronto. My passion for coding started when I was 16 years old - I taught myself HTML by reading source files from other websites. After spending the past few years in a different creative industry, I decided I was ready for a new challenge. I hadn't forgotten my passion for the web that I felt when I was a teenager, which led me to become a Front End Developer.

As a developer, I'm passionate about creating thoughtfully responsive and fully accessible websites and applications. I'm most passionate about JavaScript and React because I love the many different possible solutions there are to a single problem.
