About

Matt Hales graduated from Bath University with a 2.1 in Computer Science. While at university and during a year long placement in the Research and Development department of Vodafone Matt has learnt to use a large number of different technologies, some of which are listed below:

  • PHP
  • Java
  • JSTL
  • Spring
  • Hibernate
  • SQL
  • (X)HTML
  • Ajax
  • CSS
  • Java Script/JQuery
  • JME
  • C
During his placement at Vodafone Matt worked on two main projects, these were betavine.net and the mobile portal for this website betavine.mobi

This mobile development work inspired him during his dissertation which involved designing and developing a web browser mixing desk, enabling sound to be streamed between networked devices all controllable from a mobile device through a web interface. This involved features such as audio distribution(sending different audio channels to different devices) and audio switching(moving an audio channel from one device to another). Through this he was able to create surround sound, streamed from a laptop, and controllable view any mobile phone.

Since leaving university and working as a Web Designer Matt has also started developing iPhone applications. His first application should be on the app store shortly after Christmas.
