Hey there, I'm Matthew, and this is my personal website! This site will house updates on my projects and anything else I feel is worth sharing.
I find learning and creating extremely fulfulling. I'm particularly
interested in working with and designing systems of any sort. I've been
drawn to fields involving computers, but I also try to spend time in the
worlds of motorsport, architecture, and graphic design.
I'm an undergraduate software engineering student at
Auburn University. I
enjoy my work in theoretical computer science, system design, and
cybersecurity. I sometimes formally engage with philosophy and
mathematics.
I also help organize
Auburn Hacks,
the annual 24-hour hackathon held at Auburn University in the spring. If
you're in the American Southeast and are interested in technology, be sure
to register.
Professionally, I'm an Undergraduate Research Fellow and Assistant at
Auburn University, focusing on finding vulnerabilities in high-performance
compilers. My past experience includes roles as a Cybersecurity Analyst,
where I mitigated threats for the university, and as a Software
Engineering Intern, developing enterprise backend applications.
Outside of academia and industry, I continue to work on projects that I'm
especially passionate about. One of my largest is an
open data platform
currently applied in the form of
Open Auburn.
As this site progresses I'll talk more about open data and my
projects, but for now I encourage you to browse my
GitHub.
Feel free to reach about to me about computers, Auburn, employment, or
whatever else!

In this project I aim to engage with systems and socket programming,
component building, and web compliance in a way that is (appropriately)
rarely demanded by modern web development. The web is incredibly complex,
however frameworks/libraries have made it easy to take this complexity for
granted. Working on a simple, long-term project like this seemed like best
opportunity to interact with more fundamental web technologies.
So, for some time, this site may look a little archaic. Follow my progress
here.
