Build The Future
Hi, I'm Matt. Welcome to my website. I'm a software engineer and entrepreneur. I'm building AI tools and Automations to help businesses save time and scale.
A few of my recent projects
PostCaptioner
Created PostCaptioner.com, a tool that automatically generates captions for your social media posts. Create posts with a mix of video and image content. We use Cloudflare Stream to grab transcripts and images from your videos automatically! Check it out →

The service has a built in puppeteer integration to screenshot the client's website and provide a detailed analysis using AI. Fully integrated with Stripe for payments and SendGrid for email. Built using Next.js and PostgreSQL. See a demo →

A bit about me.
I am . . .
01
A Techno-Optimist
We live in the best time in human history. We have more wealth, more freedom, and more opportunities than ever before, despite what the news might tell you. I believe we have a responsibility to use our skills and resources to make the world an even better place by building things that add value.
02
A DeFi Enthusiast
I believe in a future where financial freedom is accessible to everyone. Decentralized finance empowers individuals by removing barriers, reducing reliance on intermediaries, and ensuring full ownership and control of their assets. Check out the Stand With Crypto UK movement in the nav bar to find out more about supporting pro crypto policy in the UK!

A Stoic
Stoicism is at the core of my personal philosophy. I believe in focusing on the things that we can control and letting go of the rest. There are a lot of things we can't control, and that's ok. By remaining focused we waste less time and live a more fulfilling and peaceful life. Our minds and our actions are the only things we have true control over.
Essential Reading
The following are some recommendations for books and articles. I have found them all incredibly insightful, and they have shaped my thinking in one way or another.
- • "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant" by Eric Jorgenson – A comprehensive guide to wealth, happiness, and life philosophy. Based on Naval's famous tweet storm "How to Get Rich without getting lucky".
- • "The Techno-Optimist Manifesto" by Marc Andreessen – A bold declaration of the power of technology to improve the world.
- • "The Beginning of Infinity" by David Deutsch – An exploration of the boundless potential of human knowledge and progress.
- • "Read Write Own" by Chris Dixon – A book on how web3 is ushering in an entirely new era on the internet. Great book to get started if you've never done anything web3 or crypto related.
- • "Deep Work" by Cal Newport – A guide to cultivating focus in a world full of distractions, essential for achieving meaningful results.
- • "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport – A contrarian take on career advice, focusing on building rare and valuable skills instead of following passion.
- • "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius – Timeless wisdom and practical philosophy from one of history's greatest Stoic thinkers.
- • "The Enchiridion" by Epictetus – A concise manual of Stoic ethical advice, offering practical guidance for living a virtuous and fulfilling life. Often comes across as an angry old man shouting at you, but sometimes that is exactly what you need!
