About
Hi! My name is Matt and I'm a developer success engineer with a background in classical music. I started playing the cello when I was four years old and majored in music performance in college, but tech has always been a big part of my life; both of my parents started their careers in the computer industry in the 1970s, and I grew up around technology.
I was lucky enough to perform in a professional string quartet for two and a half years, and I first gained a passion for web design after building our ensemble's website. I expanded on that experience at KMFA 89.5, Austin's classical music radio station, where one of my main responsibilities was updating and optimizing the website. I have since built a career supporting developers who are implementing API-based software products.
Volunteering for music organizations like Austin Soundwaves remains important to me, and I pursue my passion for music whenever I can. I'm also an amateur photographer and mixologist, and enjoy learning about art, design, and world history (especially the Middle East). I love trying craft beverages of all varieties, especially wine, cocktails, and whiskey.
