Hello. My name is Matt and I live in Brooklyn, NY.
I’m a User Experience Researcher at Google focusing on ranking systems for news results on Search. Previously, I worked on news products at Facebook and The New York Times.
I went to NYU Journalism for my master’s and took a third of my classes in the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at Tisch. Before that I studied Media Anthropology at Wesleyan University. I’ve taught product development in the Journalism + Design program at The New School and guest lectured at Columbia and NYU Journalism.
