Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Volk is a software engineer and tech policy fellow in San Francisco with a decade of experience building secure, ML-driven infrastructure at Facebook and shaping technology policy at the Aspen Tech Policy Hub. He combines systems and machine learning expertise—shipping production code in C++, Haskell, Python, and domain-specific query languages—with applied research on integrity, disinformation, racial bias in edtech, and child safety policy. At Facebook he focused on integrity infrastructure and abuse detection, and at Aspen he translated interviews with practitioners into draft regulations and procurement guidelines that bridge tech and public interest. Trained at Stanford in security and AI, he pairs rigorous academic foundations with hands-on engineering and a knack for turning complex technical problems into policy-ready, implementable solutions. An uncommon blend of low-level systems craftsmanship and policy translation makes him effective at both building resilient systems and influencing how they’re governed.
