I've gone full-time on Frontend Mentor!

by Matt Studdert

After 2-years of working on Frontend Mentor, I'm excited to say that I'm now full-time on it!

I've taken a slow and steady approach throughout the last couple of years. Contract work has been paying the bills up until now. This has allowed me to take my time to make sure I'm building the exact company I'd love to work on.

If you're interested in hearing some lessons I've learned, check out my separate post 👉 I've gone full-time on my project! Here are 5 lessons I've learned over the past 2-years working on it.

This is a huge milestone for me and something I've been hoping would happen ever since I started this journey.

When I announced it to the Frontend Mentor Slack community their response only made me more certain that this is the right move:

Thanks to everyone in the IH community, especially the Indie London lot for being so supportive! 🙌
