Matthew (b. 1991) is a data scientist, information designer, electrical engineer, photographer, and musician who is interested in designing playful frameworks to help spark individual and community growth and expression.
He makes abstract, beat-driven electronic music as part of the audio-visual duo Dayspired and 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).
Most recently, Matthew has pursued his MFA in Graphic Design at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) after receiving his MS in Data Science from Brown University. He is 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 looking for engaging and rigorous full time data science, design, and systems engineering work (either remote or in-person) dealing with high-impact social or environmental problems.

SKETCHY
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 building a personalized recommendation model in support of designers in their creative process. This is an on-going project. Reviewed paper for CHI 2020 conference.
