What's this?
This is a blog about making things. There's going to be some technical stuff about ASP.NET Core, Microsoft Azure and other bits and pieces in that area, and there's also going to be weirder stuff about experiments, puzzles and games.
Who's Mat Burtcher?
I'm a cloud solutions designer and .NET developer at DSys Plus Ltd. As Chief Engineer, I work with clients from charities to major businesses to forge web applications, database interfaces, API integrations and other cool services so they can achieve their goals and get more time to do the important things in life.
I'm also the Creative Director at BurtcherWay Ltd., specialising in delivering sometimes strange, always unique interactive experiences, games, puzzles and shows, both in the digital realm and in real life. There's more about the brands, festivals & organisations we've collaborated with on our website.
I've learned over almost two decades of working creatively with software that there isn't so much difference between those two roles as you might think. Like everyone else, I love to learn and explore, and I try not to pigeonhole myself or the paths I take too much.
I love reading, playing games and being with my family, ideally by the sea here in West Sussex, with our dog Billie Joel.
