about.md

I'm Matthew Mitten. For as long as I can remember, I've been building on computers.

As a kid, I took pride in hacking the computer lab at school. Today, I take pride in delivering meaningful ROI to other businesses with my AI expertise and implementations.

I've worked with large companies and one-person teams over the years, and I know how to add value to any organization with tactical AI tools and agents.

Sometimes I build things for you. Sometimes I teach your team. All the time, I'm having fun.
