Contact

Reach out when the role or project needs someone who can own the messy middle.

The best conversations for me are about backend-heavy products, operator workflows, accessibility and testing discipline, or delivery problems that sit between platform work and product work.

Best fit

I am most useful when a team needs backend ownership, practical product judgment, and enough operational care to keep the work understandable after it ships.

Useful context

A short note about the system, team, users, or delivery pressure beats a polished pitch. Concrete constraints make the first reply much more useful.

Response path

Email is the reliable path. The form opens an email draft unless a form backend is configured, so the message stays visible before it leaves your machine.

$ compose --to matt

Start with a concrete problem, role, or team need.

Short and specific beats polished. If there's a product, team, or system concern behind the conversation, include it.

Include enough context that I can tell whether the work is mostly backend, platform, product-facing, or some combination of the three.

No form backend is configured here, so submit opens your email client instead.

Direct

Email works best.

Good reasons to reach out

  • Backend and platform roles where shipping discipline matters
  • Operator-facing tools and internal product workflows
  • Accessibility, automation, and QA-heavy product surfaces
  • Systems work that still needs clean product presentation
