I am a Microsoft 365 Consultant working at Blacklight Software, a Microsoft Gold Partner in Wakefield near Leeds. I’m also one of the organisers of the ‘Microsoft 365 North’ user group. I came to the information technology profession via an long and interesting road, which left me with an abiding passion for solving business problems with technology. Along the way I’ve worked with a lot of different technologies but right now I spend my days applying Microsoft platforms to customer challenges. When I’m not at work I enjoy being outdoors, and running long distances across wild places.

Matt has worked with SharePoint since 2007, however has experienced working in all versions of SharePoint from SharePoint 2003 to SharePoint Online, as well as working in a range of different environments including Afghanistan.

Quite often found “geeking out” over things like search, Matt can often become quite excitable when finding new features and technologies.

Matt has two key principals, Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) and Keep It Out-of-the-Box (KIOB). These principles drive all of the solutions which Matt has designed and developed, however, being a .NET developer by background, he does love getting his hands dirty with code if needed.

In February 2020, Matt was awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Business Apps.
