About Me

I'm CarrotManMatt, it's great to see you.
Welcome to my small corner of the internet (hosted on an old office PC), so feel free to look around!

What is CarrotManMatt?

That's me! Veggies are great, and the colour orange is one of the best. So what better brand to choose than the food that makes you see in the dark?

Communicate | Contemplate | Appreciate

These are the three words I strive to live by. I think it's a simple way for us all to act to the benefit of others

• Communicate - Talking clearly to others is imperative for understanding and will quickly solve many issues.Try to truly listen to others rather than just talking at them

• Contemplate - Always take time to reflect on yourself, how you are acting and the situation you are in. It's certainly a bit "meta", but I think self-awareness is the key to ensuring we all act sensibly and kindly

• Appreciate - I know it's rather vague, but it involves many things. Try to understand the additional "baggage" others may be carrying, always assume the best in people and show explicit kindness and care to everyone

The Little Things

I'm quite extroverted and often take a leadership role in group activities, but I am excellent at finding the balance between focusing on the details and seeing the bigger picture. I always strive for perfection in my work (even with the understanding that it can never be met), and hope that my interactions with others help them to also reach for a high standard

Hobbies & Interests

I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to try an astonishing range of activities. Below are a few of the key ones that really stuck with me.
You can probably tell that there's a theme between them all; I guess these all stem from my love for technology and learning

  • Coding

    As you can see from this website and my hosting of it, I really enjoy improving my productivity and simplifying my life through technology. Programming can help you become a master at anything!

  • Playing Guitar

    I love music and the way it can bring people together; it's when performing for others that I feel at my best. I've been playing since I was six and have even had a bit of a crack at karaoke recently

  • Live Events Technology

    Putting on a great show can't be beat. Even from more of a backstage role, the connection between performers and their audience is often palpable. Aiding in that process (whether it be in the wings, at the lighting desk or on the sound board) is always a rewarding experience

  • Video Production

    Both presenting and editing videos are useful skills for me to take into the workplace, even if my infrequent dabbling with it is for smaller passion projects.It's great fun to see a simple idea turn into a piece of quality content, especially when shared with others after completion

  • The UK

    My home country is something I am both proud and in awe of. I love to explore all it has to offer from the bustling London Underground; to the smallest of picturesque villages, there's nowhere like here on earth. I'm constantly surprised by the people, culture and architecture that can easily be found not too far away

  • Maths & Science

    I have a passion for exploring complex maths and physics at a level of detail that few do. I admit, I fell in love with the logical deduction and problem-solving involved. Mixed with my constant intake of educational YouTube content, I don't think I'll ever want to stop my journey of discovery into the building blocks of our world
