About Me
MG

Hi! I’m Matthew. I build and ship AI-powered products that are actually useful and valuable. Most recently, I built and shipped Bravo AI, a voice-first calendar agent that lets you manage your schedule through natural conversation — I took it from an idea to a live product, owning the product, engineering, and deployment along the way.

I’m currently pursuing my M.S. in Software Engineering at UC Irvine, deepening my foundations while building products of my own. I’m especially interested in AI-powered applications, full-stack development, and systems where software has to solve a real problem for real people.

I enjoy taking ambiguous ideas, turning them into working software, and iterating until they become something people actually want to use.

Currently seeking Summer 2027 Software Engineering internships where I can work alongside a strong team, take meaningful ownership of projects, and contribute across the stack from idea to production.
