hi, i'm matt

i build blockchain infrastructure to support individual sovereignty.

software developer at sundae labs, based in vancouver. these days i write rust for the acropolis cardano node and build test infrastructure for compact, midnight's smart-contract language.

#projects

compact language

sundae labs × shielded technologies

compiler qa, lsp tooling, and multi-network end-to-end infrastructure for compact, midnight's privacy-preserving smart-contract language — teams can pin component versions or feature branches and catch regressions before release.

acropolis node

sundae labs × input output (iohk)

core ledger-state and indexing modules for a modular cardano node — multi-era rewards and delegation accounting, snapshot bootstrapping, and deterministic rollback across chain reorgs. also helped build a purpose-built cardano indexer for midnight on top of acropolis components.

frigidai

defi analytics

a protocol-aware pipeline decoding every trade across cardano's major dexes and nft marketplaces, feeding apis for token pricing, trading activity, and ownership.

#open source github.com/mhounslow

compact

compact, midnight's privacy-preserving smart-contract language — compiler qa, lsp tooling, and end-to-end test infrastructure

acropolis

modular cardano node with a microservice architecture, built in rust on the caryatid message bus

buswatch

observability

diagnostics for message bus systems — tui, instrumentation sdk, and adapters for rabbitmq, kafka, and nats

neuronic

visualization

real-time graph visualization for message bus systems with force-directed layout and health monitoring

engram

generative art

generative art from neural network topology — module connections drawn as dendrite-like graphs

chart-sayer

data viz

analyzes chart images and extracts entries, exits, and other trade info using user-defined rules

nounberg-indexer

event indexer

real-time nouns dao auction tracker — on-chain events plus off-chain context via rest and websocket

cloth-simulation

physics

cloth movement with tunable stiffness and wind — written at ubc

  1. software developer @ sundae labs

    client work for shielded technologies (compact language) and input output (acropolis node)

  2. data engineer @ bitbird

    cardano dex and nft transaction pipelines, query models, and apis

  3. devops → lead data engineer @ clir renewables

    led four engineers on go apis and time-series pipelines for utility-scale wind and solar; introduced terraform, ci/cd, and shared observability
