Hi, my name is

Matt.

I hack things

I specialize in offensive security, testing applications and infrastructure the way attackers would. I focus on practical exploitability, clear reporting, and helping teams fix root causes instead of symptoms.

About Me

I’m a security professional and researcher who’s curious about how systems really work, and how they break. My career has focused on application security, vulnerability research, and building safer software, but my interest in security goes well beyond the day job.

I currently work on the Application Security team at Bitwarden, where I help identify weaknesses early, improve secure development practices, and think critically about how to build software people can trust.

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time experimenting. I enjoy pulling apart hardware, building custom electronics, and exploring the edges of embedded systems and hardware security. I’m drawn to the hands-on side of security, understanding systems from the silicon up through the application layer.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

Rust
Python
JavaScript/Typescript
Burp Suite
Microcontrollers & Custom Electronics
Docker
