a personal site what I'm building, what I'm into
I care about the big problems in the world and the systems shaping it. I want to build a sustainable future that's good for people, and design things that give them hope.

Right now I'm building BountifulCSAs, software that lets small, independent organic and regenerative farms run their own CSA programs.

02 ongoing work
Each one is a short story: what it is, why it matters, where it stands today. In between, a few things I do off the clock, because they keep teaching me how to work.

A platform that lets small independent farms run their own CSA (box subscription) programs.
[ why this matters to you and to the farms - fill in ]
between projects soccer
The part people see is a second long. The part that decides it is the run-up: where you plant, how you set your body, how calm you are when the ball arrives. I like work that gets the setup right so the final step feels easy.

between projects basketball
A good shot is a habit, not a moment. Get the form right, repeat it until it holds up under pressure, then adjust one small thing at a time. Shipping software works the same way.

between projects guitar
You hold a groove by paying attention to everything around your own part. It is a good reminder for building things with other people: the work is better when you listen to the room first.

03 about
I'm Matt. [ where you're based, what you do day to day, how you got here - fill in ]
I like problems that are bigger than one person and systems that quietly decide how a lot of lives go. I would like to spend my time building things that make those systems kinder, and that give people a reason to feel hopeful. [ add the story behind that - fill in ]
04 contact
If something here sparked an idea, if you are building something that gives people hope, or if you just want to talk soccer, I would like to hear from you.
