Matt’s Build with AI Qualifications
Experience level: Manager
I build and run AI agents every day. Before moving into research I spent three and a half years as a full-stack engineer, and I have a Master's in Human Factors focused on how people work alongside intelligent systems. At BambooHR I built the AI-enabled research infrastructure for a 100-person product org and co-founded the company's responsible-AI framework, now used across a 1,500-person organization. On the side I ship a live mobile app solo using agentic coding and run a personal multi-agent system that handles recurring work for me. Most of my career has been spent helping non-engineers get real value out of AI, so I can explain this in plain language and help you build automations and agents that hold up once you're actually using them.
