Hi, I’m Matt.

I’m a physicist, engineer and artist. I am an optimizer: of code, of process, and of myself. I like making things, both digital and physical, and enjoy the interface between those things.

I was an early Palantir FDE and a scientist at Toyota Research Institute. I’ve spent the past 20 years studying how large organizations make use of data and knowledge. I spend a lot of time thinking about how organizations know what they know, and how they can know what things they don’t know. I have worked on manufacturing, climate technology, lithium ion batteries, methane mitigation, financial fraud, legaltech, and global health.

I am the founder and CEO of A3 Analytics. We are using AI to enable automated troubleshooting in factories and field service. Automated root cause analysis has been the holy grail of industrial process control for almost 100 years. We’re using physics, AI, and cognitive psychology to help automate the highly complex human-driven process of fixing real-world physical systems.

I am 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.
