Matt actively contributes to the Bitcoin community through a blend of education, technical development, and entrepreneurial efforts, with a strong focus on El Salvador.
His educational impact includes teaching workshops in El Salvador for students to understand, operate, maintain, and repair Bitcoin Mining ASICs, alongside providing IT security classes related to risk and compliance to students in El Salvador and in Hawaii.

On the development front, Matt founded a company (uila.io) focused on Bitcoin Mining and Lightning development and another company (Katall.io) utilizing Taproot Assets for VC and retail funding in LATAM.

Furthermore, he serves as a speaker at Bitcoin conferences and workshops, and his personal commitment is underscored by relocating his family to El Salvador in 2023 to fully utilize Bitcoin as a medium-of-exchange.

Matt loves dogs, bodysurfing, yoga and his wife. :)
