• Building an iOS app to help individuals learn and practice parts work therapy (1500+ users)
• Writing introductory guides to NFTs and decentralized finance
• Creating a clothing brand
• Building gene networks and network evaluation methods using statistical machine learning with the Battle Lab
• Making community resources accessible with CovidSMS (2000+ users)
• Connecting Baltimore as a Head of Family at Thread
• Helping students learn machine learning as Head Course Assistant for CS475 and CS482, Hopkins’ graduate-level intros to machine learning and deep learning
• Developing Brainlit, a tool to help neuroscience researchers analyze large, three-dimensional brain volumes, with NeuroData
• Solving dyslexia as an engineer, product manager, and engineering team lead at Speechify (20M+ users)
• Developing silk fibroin-based tissue engineering scaffolds with the Brown Lab
• Various projects like a machine learning-based histopathology tool, a gratitude-focused journaling system, and machine learning models for bacteriophage-host detection

I enjoy lifting weights, running, swimming, hiking, grappling, books, and deep conversations.

I always enjoy meeting thoughtful, driven, and considerate people. Please don't hesitate to shoot me an email at [email protected] or connect with me on Twitter @mattfigdore. I'm also happy to jam on startup ideas or discuss freelance engineering.
