Back to meet the team

Consultant

Hi, I'm Matt, I'm a Consultant specialising in Software Development, as part of our Financial Services practice at Harvey Nash.&nbsp;
I mainly recruit for Software Developers who specialise in many areas, including expertise in Java, Python and C++. As part of the Financial Services team, we work with a variety of clients, from Tier 1 Investment Banks through to Fintech Start-Ups.
I previously worked as a chef for around 4 years, and I love to cook in my spare time. I also enjoy watching football, and am a big gamer. Adding to my love of football, I also love to stay active, and am an avid gym goer.
The best piece of advice I've ever been given is, "Tough times don't last, tough people do."
