Hey, I'm Matthew.
A little more about what makes me tick.
What drives me
I build things because I want them to exist in the world - not just on my laptop. Most of my projects started with someone asking "why doesn't this exist yet?"
Outside of code
I follow the markets closely and build my own trading tools. There's real overlap between thinking like an engineer and thinking like an investor.

SLO
Building for people starts by listening first.
How I work
I like teams that move fast and actually ship. I'm comfortable with ambiguity - half my projects started without a clear spec. I care deeply about what happens after launch. Who's using it? Does it help them? That's the real metric.
