About Matt Hocking

QUALIFICATION

I hold an Engineering Degree majoring in Robotics from Deakin University with secondary honors.

HOBBIES AND INTERESTS

My interests and hobbies include robotics, music, and using my off-road buggy. In studying the classical guitar, I achieved distinctions in all A.M.E.B. exams up to eighth grade, and also played the position of jazz guitarist in their senior stage band. In my spare time I enjoy working on useful technology projects, driving my off-road buggy, bush walking and playing golf.
