What my COWORKERS say...

“I enjoyed my time working with Matt, and have always been fascinated with his experience and side projects. He is a valuable asset with a wealth of experience from past work and his side business, basically single-handedly generating a complete digital experience platform to empower board game creators to deliver their work. He is honest, with himself and others, dependable, and really cares about his work. He is vocal, offering constructive criticism of solutions to ensure they do not compromise effective security or performance considerations.

His knowledge of software design and architecture and expertise in API-driven solutions was a huge advantage to our organization. He literally single-handedly integrated a clever API system that many in the past at the company have failed to conceive of prior in order to transform a restrictive monolithic platform into an open resource for international teams’ development efforts.

Along with his undeniable talent, Matt has always been an absolute joy to work with for me. He developed additional soft skills during my leadership, is a true team player, and always manages to foster positive discussions and bring the best out of other employees. He wants to do things the right way and not cut corners or compromise on what is possible or necessary to solve the real job to be done.” Joe Still, DevOps Manager, HostDime Premier Global Datacenters (supervised me)

“Matt has terrific visions for software that will not only improve productivity for the company but will also improve the company itself. Since taking over the R & D / IT departments at AMTC many improvements have been made. His knowledge and ideas continue to amaze me on a daily basis. It's nice to have a supervisor that appreciates you and the hard work that you do.”
