Hi, I’m Matt.
I am passionate about bringing new technology to bear on the massive problems posed by the climate crisis. My areas of expertise include data platform architecture, lithium ion battery technology, IoT/Industry 4.0, GIS, remote sensing, and managing complex enterprise software development. I am an optimizer: of code, of process, and of myself.
I am a researcher at Toyota Research Institute, where my team is using ML and materials science to drive advances in battery development and manufacturing.
Prior to that, I was Principal Software Engineer at Kairos Aerospace, working to prevent methane emissions, one of the most powerful forms of climate pollution. In 2020, we mitigated 7.3 million tons of CO₂e.
I am also the founder and executive director of the Climate Tech Action Network. We provide mentorship, training, and education for engineers seeking to work on high-impact problems in climate technology.
I am a dad of two very small humans who, by a strange coincidence, were both born on the same day. It’s very exciting, in much the same way that I imagine Sully found landing in the Hudson River to be exciting.
I am an artist. I love making things, and use a variety of materials: metal, wood, found objects, sometimes fire.
