Matthew is a module developer and drupal implementation consultant for Kosada, Inc.. He developed Footermap, TWiki Filter, TWiki Tools (TWiki Revision), Organic group Titles, Organic group RSVP, and Organic group Node Approval among several other web development projects. His first love was Perl, and sometimes still thinks like he's Perl hacking. In fact his first drupal project was a forum topic/comment daily digest cron-based script written in Perl.

Matthew graduated with a B.A. in East Asian Studies with an emphasis on Japanese Studies from Denison University, studied at Waseda University, and grew up back in good ol' Northern California.
