Matt is the founder of SiteDistrict, a powerful & flexible WordPress hosting platform. He started off his career in Austin as a computer engineer at AMD, has since backpacked non-stop around the world for 3.5 years, worked in commercial hosting, helped build a computational modeling platform at a cognitive science research laboratory, and done freelance web application development. He now focuses on providing amazing WordPress hosting for clients.
Matt began his journey with WordPress developing a real-estate IDX server & WordPress IDX plugin. He moved towards the hosting side of WordPress when he took a client’s sites spread across multiple servers, all suffering from performance & security issues, and consolidated them onto AWS, into what became SiteDistrict. With the help of New Relic and other tools, he and his team have sped up hundreds of sites significantly, bringing happiness to both clients and site visitors.
Matt feels that WordPress hosting companies should do as much as they can to provide good performance, security, and automation, so that you can focus on your business while your host takes care of the rest.
