Civic Tech & Usable AI from Barbados Hi! I'm Matt — a developer building national-scale AI systems in Barbados through Dharach.
Instead of importing Silicon Valley abstractions, I build and prove systems that work in real conditions — civic tech that serves thousands of people daily:
- Yuh Hear Dem — AI parliamentary search with source-linked provenance (200+ videos, 90k+ entities)
- Yuh Gettin' Tru? — Island-wide product search across 100+ retailers (340k+ products)
- We Outside 246 — AI events discovery from Instagram (40k+ posts, 6.5k+ events)
- Talk to Tali — Shame-free WhatsApp task manager for ADHD brains
- alpha.gov.bb — Government services portal (GovTech Barbados)
- Developer Advocacy — helping developers learn, build, and ship better tools
- AI/ML — practical applications of vector search, LLMs, and NLP
- Python — my go-to for building things that combine multiple technologies Previously: Arbitrum Foundation, Protocol Labs, Ripple, IBM.
Let's build something useful.
