About This Site
I'm Matt, starting my career in AI Safety in the Bay Area, and very happy to welcome you to my personal website :)
What will you find here?
I like to keep organized. But keeping track of my projects, thoughts, notes, friends, and habits need not be a lonely endeavor! This website was created in Aug 2025 as an experiment to see what happens when I share everything (within reason).
