Bio
Matt Salmon
Sam has an unhealthy obsession with JavaScript and was widely recognised as one of the main go-to guys at Mando Group for all things front-end related. Sam is easy to work with, can be relied upon to come up with fresh ideas and technically they don't come much better. As far as I know he doesn't answer to Samuel, except maybe unless you're his mum.

Sam is a very skilled Front End Developer, but not only is that a massive advantage to having Sam work on your projects, he also has experience as a Project Manager and has a great understanding of deadlines, realistic time-scales and client pressures. He communicates clearly when problems arise and also sources solutions, instead of just pushing the problem back to you. Great guy, really skilled.

Jun 2000 - Aug 2010
During my time at Mando my professional development covered a lot of disciplines. I started of as a designer/builder working with Photoshop/Fireworks, HTML/CSS. This led into Flash & actionscript (also Sliverlight) as well as Javascript. I then picked up programming using ASP and became a member of the programming department as well as the design department. This then led naturally into project management (Prince2 Qualified), so i could manage the whole process on smaller projects from requirements to delivery. As the industry matured and roles changed, i specialised in the Javascript side of development, and was also that bridge between the Frontend development and Programming departments.
