Matt Derocher

Matt has been doing front-end web development for over 15 years and currently works at SimpliSafe developing their e-commerce site. Since he spends a lot of time volunteering in Tanzania, Africa, he spends a large amount of time with slow and limited network connectivity. This had lead him to focus on speed and user experience in web development. He believes that local-first apps are a great solution, not just for Sub-Saharan Africa, but also for those who travel on public transport in Northern New England, which still has miles of poor cellular network areas.
