Matt Provost

Hi, I'm Matt. I'm a Systems Engineer at Cloudflare working on the Access Team. Previously, I've worked on the OpenSearch Project at Amazon Web Services.

I'm interested in all things tech. I started programming at the age of 10, and have been fueled by passion and curiousity ever since. Exploring anything that has interested me, I've delved into full-stack, mobile, embedded, games, and systems development. Landing my first job as a software engineer at the age of 16 introduced me to the industry, and I've been learning and honing my skills ever since.

Overall, I'm a very curious and innovative person. My goal is to have a substantial and lasting impact on all of humanity through the design and development of software. I'm constantly learning through exploring new projects and contributing to open source.
