Hi, I'm Matt

Software engineer focused on automation, reliability, and thoughtful system design

About Me

Software engineer and quality leader focused on building reliable, well-tested systems that people can trust.

My work sits at the intersection of automation, embedded systems, and backend services, where correctness, observability, and long-term maintainability matter more than quick fixes. Outside of work, I stay active with chess, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and strength training. This site is a home for my projects, writing, and experiments—technical and otherwise.
