I enter high-stakes environments and alter outcome. I use language to surface the root cause and technology to make it hold.
About
HX Works · CEO
I alter outcome in high-stakes environments.
My work includes systems tracking $1B+ in regulated financial environments, project management software enabling construction teams to remove lead from water systems in tens of thousands of homes, and operational and mapping systems used by firefighters, emergency response teams and global aid organizations.
When not altering outcome, I live nomadically. Often off-grid in remote terrain accessible only by 4WD.
Standards
Non-negotiable principles that define every engagement.
I don't take every project. I work where consequences matter. I only partner with leaders who refuse failure. If failure is acceptable, I'm not a good fit.
I tell you what you need to hear, not what makes you feel good. Honest feedback, direct communication and challenging assumptions are how I operate.
Most people treat symptoms. I diagnose what's actually broken. I build solutions that address the real problem to alter outcome.
"Off-grid, problems don't escalate.
They get solved."
Praise
"Matthew's truly remarkable. I almost didn't write this review because I don't want other people to tie him up."
"Matthew is top notch. He wants to make sure you come away feeling empowered and knowledgeable."
"He helped me with a hiring insecurity related to a bad experience and I feel like a new person."
