Hello and welcome. I'm Matt Sears, a software developer/entrepreneur currently living in Ohio. My career spans nearly 10 years of designing and developing software for the web. I specialize in Ruby on Rails development, but also enjoy learning new languages and technology.

These days I spend most of my time working on my own company, Littlelines. It's a small software company focused on building high-quality web applications with beautiful user interfaces.
