About Me
Greetings from the tech-hub of the SF Bay Area! I'm Matthew, a 34-year-old who seamlessly merges his passion for information technology with everyday life. If there's a repetitive task around, you can be sure I've considered automating it. My house? Yep, a whimsical blend of efficiency and tech-infused fun, thanks to my automation skills.
From an early age, my hands were equally comfortable with both pizza dough and POS systems, all while lending a hand at my parents' pizza parlor. π Yet, my tech journey truly accelerated with the creation of PPSM (Power Play Sports Management). Initially designed to elevate operations at my parents facility, Antioch Indoor Sports Center, it eventually became the backbone of my own facility Norcal Indoor Sports Center.
But there's more to me than codes and computers:
π I've spent a significant part of my life gliding on ice, with a hockey stick in hand. From face-offs to hat tricks, hockey has shaped a lot of my life's experiences.
π Campground Buddy: Streamlining road trips and outdoor adventures for RV enthusiasts.
πΈ AI Photo Booths Software: Giving venues an edge with memorable snapshots and intuitive revenue systems.
π Leave a Message: A blend of nostalgia and tech where vintage-styled phones capture memories at events.
Growing up, I also spent countless hours wrenching on a classic beauty - a 1967 Mustang. From the intricacies of its wiring to the power of its rebuilt engine, every part has felt my touch.
And when I'm not amidst wires or on the ice, you might find me with a spade in my garden or lost in a new DIY challenge. Every hobby, every project, echoes my love for discovery and innovation.
Dive in for insights on IT, my latest tech experiment, or perhaps to share a mutual love for classic cars and hockey. There's always something fascinating brewing here, paired perfectly with a slice of pizza π!
