About

Hi. My name is Matt. I'm a software engineer, amateur landlord (at times), and a legal baron. The last of which doesn't pay, unfortunately.

Myself in the Winter

I enjoy working on distributed and resource-constrained systems because of their minimalistic nature. Besides tinkering, some of my other technical interests include:

cyber-security and data privacy
electronic and information warfare
linguistics and language design.

Some personal interests of mine include:

health and fitness tracking and optimization
house and homelab projects
local (IRL) community involvement

Thanks for having a look!

Contact

For email, here is my GPG key. (I am a real human being and will respond in kind).

Here's my church if you'd like to meet on a Sunday. If you're curious how science and theology can fit together, I would encourage you to read Aron Wall's blog (see the web ring at the bottom).

For hiring, please email me for my resume and LinkedIn account page.

Genealogy

If you found me by last name and are looking for genealogy information, please feel free to reach out! I am planning a genealogy project to be hosted at binning.family.

Donate

If you would like to buy me filtered water or coffee. :)

Comparing Religions X: Moral Depth

[It's hard to believe it's been nearly 3 years since the last post in this series; maybe writing about a "long delay" jinxed me. Anyway I got pretty busy with academic stuff, but now I'm on sabbatical. Like the rest … Continue readin…
