Summary
Matt Mathis is a veteran Internet engineer and freelance researcher with decades of deep experience improving Internet performance, protocols, measurement, and standards. Based in Mountain View, he spent over a decade at Google driving measurement-based TCP and Internet improvements via Measurement Lab and prior to that helped shape the network through long tenure at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. He focuses on exposing hidden flaws through rigorous measurement and translating findings into standards and practical fixes that benefit everyone online. Now semi-retired and selective about engagements, he prioritizes projects that measurably make the Internet better rather than routine consulting. With an MSEE from Carnegie Mellon and hands-on involvement in Internet evolution since the 1980s, he combines historical perspective with ongoing technical relevance. If you’re unfamiliar with his body of work, he politely asks you to review it before proposing projects.
