Hey, I'm Matt.

I’m an engineer and product manager.

I'm interested in deep learning and building products with LLMs. Most recently I've been exploring retrieval augmented generation, agents, and fine tuning language models.

Prior to my current work I had the chance to:

• Participate in Buildspace's Nights and Weekends during which I researched how to improve the performance of retrieval augmented generation systems.
• Attend The Recurse Center where I built web apps, studied machine learning, and learned a lot from other engineers. You can read about my experience here.
• Work as a PM on Capital One's machine learning platform. My team built tools that enabled data scientists and engineers to experiment with, improve, and deploy models at scale.

I went to the University of Maryland where I designed my own major called Engineering and Product Management. My course work consisted of math, physics, computer science, design, and business.

Outside of all of that I love to go on adventures outside, skateboard, ride my bike, write, and play music. I was lucky enough to take a year off during college and spend time traveling after. I’ve spent a month in each of the following countries: China, Laos, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Nicaragua.

I host some writing and recent projects on this site. If you'd like to find out more about me, you can find me on Twitter, GitHub, or LinkedIn
