I’m Matt, an Internet Services Manager at Netcraft. Opinions expressed here are my own, not those of my employer.

My work consists of managing and maintaining Netcraft’s scanning software, performing PCI scans, security testing, consulting and systems administration.

I have a PhD from the University of Bath, on the application of novel image processing techniques to sparse remotely sensed data. You can read my at Thesis. You can find freely available copies of my academic work here.

I live with my partner, Charlie Beldon, in Wiltshire, fairly near Bath, where houses are affordable and commutes to Bath are short. Charlie is a professional dog trainer and behaviourist.

In my spare time, which sometimes encroaches into work time, I like to climb, walk, hack bits of code (usually in scripting languages like Ruby and Perl, but sometimes shell code or C), mess with electronics, break this website, take photos, play console games, read books and watch sci-fi. I also run (slowly) and am completely addicted to Zombies Run!.

Last but not least, I have an amateur radio license, and since 2018 my callsign has been M0PUH. Find me on QRZ.
