Hi, I'm Matthew Daly.
I'm a web developer, and have worked in the industry for about a decade now. I live in Norfolk and work in Norwich (except during lockdown, when I've been working from home).
Right now, I work primarily with Laravel and React.js, and on maintaining and migrating a legacy Zend 1 project. I've also worked with Django, Angular 1, CodeIgniter, Backbone.js, Vue.js, and Phonegap in the past.
I blog about the challenges of and solutions for dealing with legacy code, web app performance, modern PHP and Javascript development, and anything else I find interesting.
You can find me on Twitter, Mastodon and GitHub
