Hello World!

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.


> About Me

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.

> Projects

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.

> Where's the rest of this site?

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.
