Hi, I'm Matti (aka "mrmattipants")!

I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin w/ my 12 year old son, Aidyn.

I'm a Full-time IT Technical Support Specialist & Network Administrator, who spends a large percentage of his free-time, working on Programming & Development related Projects, both personal & professionally.

I'm experienced in a plethora of Programming/Scripting Languages (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/ECMAScript 6, PHP, Perl, Python, TCL/Tk & Expect, JSON, XML, SQL, Ruby on Rails, Adobe Coldfusion/CMFL, ActionScript 3.0, Java/JSP, VBScript, etc), including several Proprietary Languages and the like'

Prior to working in the IT/Networking field, I worked in Printing & Publishing, as a Pre-Press Technician & Graphic Designer (aka Commercial Artist), working w/ just about every Adobe Application in the Crestive Suite.

Education wise, I Majored in Commercial Art, Minoring in Web Design, back in the early 2000s, at MATC (Milwaukee Area Technical College), from which I changed Colleges, to Finish my Graphic Design Degree w/ a Web Design Certificate by 2007, at WCTC (Waukesha County Technical College).

Just prior to 2010, I returned to WCTC, to earn yet another Degree, this time in "BIT (Business Information Technology) Network Administration", while simultaneously earning multiple Industry Certifications (CompTIA, A+, Network+, Security+, Server+, Linux+, Microsoft MCP/MCTS, MCSA/MCITP, WCTC Web Design Certificate, WCTC Microsoft Windows Server Administration Certificate, WCTC Network Specialist Certificate, WCTC Network Security Specialist Certificate, etc).
