Matt leads projects in data discovery in both UVA and non-UVA systems, data modeling, reporting, data visualization, and analytics to assist with data informed decisions. He has been at UVA or a UVA related foundation since September of 2006, and joined the Research Development Team in 2022. Matt enjoys making sense out of chaos, solving problems, and figuring out puzzles. In his free time he enjoys gardening, making things, and making art. This dovetails with his work where he enjoys the art of data analytics and visualization so that instead of simply supplying a wall of numbers, he provides easy to understand insights and conclusions. Prior to joining the Research Development team he worked as the Lead Decision Support Analyst in the Business Intelligence Program for the School of Medicine. Matt has a BS in Accounting from the University of South Alabama, and an MBA with a concentration in data analytics from Longwood University.
