Problem Solver

Matthew Hansen

Areas Matthew Hansen is Knowledgeable in:

I am interested in how technology can be leveraged to manage organic members of a system... How computers can take advantage of human psychology to realize outcomes, rather than humans using computers to arrive at human-bound outcomes. I am interested in inverting the relationship between humans and computers, with humans setting goals, and computers realizing those goals by engaging humans.

Techniques Matthew Hansen Uses:

Mathematics, observation of psychological patterns, observation of existing inefficiencies and identification of the principle causes of those inefficiencies to determine a solution.
I keep a list of solutions to problems I run into on a daily basis (mostly while traveling) - I have accumulated over 300 entries - some viable, some eccentric and unrealistic.

Matthew Hansen's Problem Solving Skills:

  1. BS Electrical Engineering, Software Systems Design

Matthew Hansen's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. I developed a general solution to an asynchronous messaging system using self-organizing microservices
    I developed a weight loss system that uses a natural psychological control (feedback) loop to derive results (and lost 30 lbs in 3 months using it)
    I developed a distributed task management and delegation system that uses natural human impulses to implicitly (rather than explicitly) drive productivity
