mission (

chose to accept it):

Make the world a nicer place, for all the people I can

Noteworthy Achievements:

Recovered multi-million file backups strewn across half a dozen locations, all with some state of corruption—and made it categorically impossible to happen again
Simultaneously slashed a recurring AWS bill by a factor of 10 while also drastically increasing capacity
Implemented “similar image” search that could run performantly across thousands of files on a $5 VPS
Implemented tagging system capable of instant renames, showing exact count of intersection of tags in any view, (even in searches!) all while outperforming everything I researched
Knows what monads are

Dossier Quotes:

Matthew is both inquisitive and creative with their approach to problem solving. Both veritable superpowers that have tamed mountain-sized puzzles down to size with reliable systems that continue to work for us long term.
