“I worked with Matt to launch Policy Matters GH, an educational Android app meant to improve political literacy among voters in Ghana who traditionally attribute more weight to the religious and ethnical affiliations of politicians rather than the merit of their policies. Matt was able to complete the project under pressure and in time for Ghana's 2016 presidential elections. Although he had only been in Ghana a couple weeks before beginning the project, Matt quickly grasped local political and cultural tendencies that enabled him to successfully personalize the app within the Ghanaian context. Matt is an easy-going, yet decisive collaborator with an unmistakeable approach to the work that he does - create something meaningful and leave a mark. This project, for example, was a voluntary endeavor born from his desire to genuinely impact others. Thanks to his work, the app garnered more than 3,000 downloads in its first couple weeks, an incredible accomplishment considering the limited time and resources at hand. Matt is a rock star developer, master engineer and excellent partner. I hope to have a chance to work with him again in the future. ”
