The creator of this website has been creating websites since at least 1994 (did they have websites back then?). Those first websites weren’t his first ideas, but perhaps they were the first the world got to experience.

From those early days designing, developing, and writing Matte moved on to helping orchestrate it all – getting into design operations & program management. He’s often figurative glue holding projects and teams together, but of course he’s not literal glue. Though his hair has often been spikey and sometimes those spikes were hard enough to pin bugs on for one’s bug collection for entomology class project.

While he’s less prolific in the last several decades, he still has ideas. Those ideas sometimes just linger around the house like cat hair. But when he’s got the energy to clean up, perhaps more of those ideas will find their way here.

Otherwise, you might find something else to waste your time with at https://matte.elsbernd.net

(btw, I don’t think I’ve ever looked cooler since that baby photo shown above.)
