Writing

I’m Matthew Ault, a distributed systems engineer (ex-Segment) focused on the deep structure of computational, organisational, and cognitive systems.

This blog is where I keep longer-form writing on:

• Technical systems: distributed infrastructure, data pipelines, and media platforms
• Organisational systems: incentives, culture, and the dynamics of organisational drift
• Cognitive systems: the internal architectures and hidden patterns that underpin the mind

My main site, foobarcat.com, is where I keep details on my consulting work, current projects, and contact information.
