Matthew Bejtlich © 2020
Matthew (b. 1991) grew up in the quiet corn fields and pine trees of rural Massachusetts. He is a photographer, musician, composer, and data scientist with an interest in sustainability and storytelling for impact. He especially enjoys working across the domains of music, fashion, food, and the natural environment. His research exists at the interface of data science, experience design, human-computer interaction, participatory design, data ethics and data provenance, and creativity support tools.
For the past ten years, Matthew has been deeply invested in the global electronic music scene, producing electronic music as part of the audio-visual duo Dayspired. He is a current partner at Rhythm Section International (London, UK), where he is being mentored by record label founder Bradley Zero (DJ at BBC Radio 1, NTS Radio, Boiler Room). Soon he will also be exploring more minimal and atmospheric directions in solo work released under his own name.
Matthew recently graduated with his MFA from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) after receiving his MS in Data Science from Brown University. He was a graduate researcher at Brown’s Human-Computer Interaction Lab and the head teaching assistant for the class Machine Learning and Design. He is currently open to full time work and freelancing opportunities.

SKETCHY: CREATIVITY SUPPORT TOOL
Sketchy is a web-based drawing application that allows users to sketch in virtual rooms and get ideas from viewing their peer’s sketches in real-time. In my contribution as a graduate research for the Brown University HCI Group, I conceptualized and constructed novel artistic features from 2D stroke data to help in the building of a personalisation model to support artists in their creative process. This is an on-going project. Reviewed paper for CHI 2020 conference.
