A software engineer
who loves making things

I’m Matt, a software engineer and entrepreneur based in Salt Lake City. This site is a collection of my thoughts, projects, and other nonsense. It's usually built using technology I'm actively working with, so hopefully you can find something interesting.

Using an ML model for OCR

Basic setup using a pre-trained model for OCR in Python with PyTorch. Solving a simple character recognition problem.

Switching my OS to Linux Mint

My experience switching to Linux Mint OS. The reasons for choosing Linux Mint, the installation process, base configuration, and software installation.

Building this site with Next.js, Docker, and Github

The setup and configuration of a website built with Next.js, Tailwind, and MDX. It covers steps such as download, setting up CI/CD with Docker and Github Actions, and deploying the application to Digital Ocean.

Latest Builds

Sometimes I get a wild hair and build something wacky. This is mostly for fun, so don't expect anything too serious.
