About Matty

Thanks for being here and reading this. Here’s a bit of my background in life and work.

School

I grew up thinking I wanted to be an artist, and more specifically, a film director. This led me to the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, in Boston Massachusetts. While I didn’t end up becoming a film director, art and creativity became and remain a core part of my life.

Work

After learning a lot about audio and video tools in college, I worked in the audio visuals field for several years before becoming fascinated by technology that facilitates communication.

From there, I began a career in collaboration technology where for over 15 years I led companies such as Parametric Technology Corp (PTC) and Vistaprint/Cimpress in helping people communicate and collaborate all over the world.

It was during this time that I also got experience as a CTO, leading product strategy and developer teams in a startup environment.

I currently work at Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a Sr. Solutions Architect, where I help customers build video games in the cloud. I also facilitate a conscious leadership group and specialize in generative AI.

Life

Along the way, I’ve became fascinated in self understanding, the questions of reality and the universe, and spent over 10 years studying, as well as teaching, yoga and mindfulness.

I’m deeply passionate about how we communicate and collaborate together. I believe in the human desire to be connected and be supported through community and solidarity, and, I love to create spaces where people can learn and grow together.

I run groups to help people build skills to communicate in the midst of disagreement. I also offering facilitation and leadership guidance for individuals and groups.

I love music, the wonders of nature, consciousness, and the universe, and seeing the world. I’d love to learn more about the world by meeting you.
