Operations Division Matt has been a computer guy at AACRAO since 2004. The IT folks at AACRAO take care of just about anything that has a wire coming out of it. Matt learned about computer systems by rebuilding surplus computers for schools, back when he was a stay-at-home Dad. Long ago, after the kids were all in school, Matt began working with servers and networking equipment. Lately most of what Matt does for AACRAO is Salesforce programming and data manipulation. Matt is almost entirely self-taught. Although Matt does not have a degree he still considers himself fairly well educated. In his spare time Matt makes stuff.
Matt assists the IT team in strategizing, policy-making, standardization, and providing guidance in managing AACRAO's core systems.
