hi, i'm matt. i'm a programmer located in houston, tx. this site is part portfolio, part archive, part place to think out loud. you could even say it serves as an insight into my own world for anyone who happens to wander in.
developer
generalist, by temperament and by job. every endpoint matters: greenfield product engineering one week, debugging a long-lived macro the next.
essentially, anything involving silicon and input/output is interesting to me
a working principle, if i have one: tools are meant to be used appropriately, and how much you use a tool depends on how much you understand when it should be used. more understanding, more leverage; less understanding, the tool is using you. that goes for languages, frameworks, large language models, and pretty much everything else. people included.
regarding the day-to-day, i very much enjoy talking to others and i believe that being able to effectively communicate between and around friction helps everyone.
musician
i make music as verism RIP. drifting from hip-hop into electronic lately. one-offs, released when they're done. no, there is no album cycle and no schedule. just whatever finishes itself. music is a hobby in the literal sense: physical audio, being both a part of the machine and experiencing it, is one of the few things that resets how i think.
listen on spotify or apple music.
currently
rebuilding the website

email is the best way to reach me! [email protected]. as a believer in inbox zero i read every email; notifications can be missed.
