ABOUT ME
Math nerd, entrepreneur, software engineering instructor
Math nerd, entrepreneur, software engineering instructor

Hi there! 👋 My name is Matt, and I love to teach.

At one time I thought I would be a math professor, and earned a BA in Mathematics from Princeton, followed by a PhD in the subject at UCLA. After that I worked for a small math education startup, but after a few years missed teaching in a classroom, so I transitioned to teaching web development. I cofounded the top rated coding bootcamp in San Francisco, and taught there until 2021, when I returned to an engineering role in the climate space.

Looking forward to helping you solve some interesting problems.

Please note: if you'd like to schedule some time to meet, please send me a message so that we can discuss appropriate times. Once we've agreed to a time, I'll open up that slot in my schedule so that you can book it.

Regarding my rate: I don't negotiate on my Codementor rate, but I do offer a reduced rate to verified students. If you've read this far and tell me your favorite dad joke in our initial chat, I'll also give you my student rate for our first session. In case you need inspiration: https://icanhazdadjoke.com/

See you on the internet!

I had a live code review with Matt. He provided very helpful feedback and good pointers for things to investigate. Matt had a thorough history of React pattern discussions within the broader community and used that to help clarify points of confusion in my approach to my React app. He used my very effectively. Would highly recommend! He was also very responsive with scheduling.

I came to Matt with an impossible issue. Not only did he help solve the problem but I learned so much in the process. I cannot recommend Matt enough to ANYONE.

Very helpful mentor. In 30 mins, he walked me through two separate problems in my code (one related to calling a particular library in my script, one in the way I was using the Flask framework). These problems would have taken me weeks to work through on my own. Very easy to get in contact with and arrange a session. Thanks Matt!
