Matt is a respected security researcher who has a rare gift of communicating his field.

I’m lucky to be rather tenuously associated with him through a website his partner created and runs, on which I am a (seriously lapsed) moderator. Every now and again something goes disasterously wrong with the server hardware and we get a little email from him to remind us of his presence. Usually something along the lines of ‘I fixed it, it’s working now’.

Matt is almost entirely unknown about by the frequenters of the website he has done a lot to maintain over the years; occasionally one of us comes across his name in his professional context, given that there are a fair few computer profesionals around on the web, but generally these little emails serve as the only reminders of what Matt does.

And what Matt does is interesting. Moreover, Matt has the rare gift of being able to talk about what he does and make it sound interesting. You should go have a little look at his site and his blog that’s up there - hopefully he’ll get around to writing more of it sometime in the future.
