What People Say
"Matt was one of the lead engineers on our small team and was absolutely a jack of all trades and rock-star developer. He approached every problem with a positive attitude and creative mindset, which made working with him a pleasure. He helped scale our small mobile video ad server into a legitimate business, worked to migrate it from Heroku to AWS, then eventually played an important role in the integration to our in-house infrastructure, which was a significant operational undertaking. Matt stands out as one of the few developers who is incredibly skilled technically, while also having a strong product and design sense - he's a real swiss army knife."
Danny Roosevelt
Product at Pipedream, formerly BrightRoll & Yahoo
"Matt is an invaluable asset any company would be lucky to have! We've worked on numerous projects together and it has been nothing less than stellar to work with him. He was more than eager to tackle any task, big or small, and would always take time to explain everything in detail. Matt is a great personality to be around who is easy to work with and has a passion for everything he does."

Why Work With Me
I've Walked the Walk
Built products from scratch, scaled infrastructure, debugged the hard stuff, and turned ideas into outcomes. This gives you instant credibility and empathy with engineers.
Developer Experience Is in My DNA
Fundamentally care about improving how engineers work — from DevEx and CI/CD to onboarding and API design. Built tools that make engineers faster and happier.
I Bridge the Gap
Speak both code and customer. Whether it's aligning with execs on KPIs or coaching engineers on product impact, you know how to translate strategy into action.
Builder of Teams
Understand the importance of culture, trust, and clarity. Mentor, lead by example, and design systems where people do their best work.
Relentlessly Pragmatic
Not in love with process for its own sake. Look for what actually helps: reducing friction, simplifying paths, and unblocking teams.
Long-Term Thinker
Care about API consistency, onboarding time, developer happiness, and system resiliency — not just shipping the next sprint.
