A public notebook · Portland, OR

Hi, I'm Matt AW.

I build and study AI products for learning, care, and other high-context work. This is where I share the useful parts: decisions, prototypes, failures, and patterns worth reusing.

About

I am interested in how people understand things.

My work brings together product development, learning design, user experience, and applied AI. Helpful solutions need to be capable, adaptable, and clear. I have worked in education and healthcare, where context matters and confident shortcuts can do real harm. I am fascinated by how people use technology to make chores easier and unlock discovery. I use this notebook space to share examples and invite curiosity.
