Matt was a self-confessed computer hacker at the age of 8.  For more than a decade, Matt has used his passion for code to develop Marxan software, crucial for environmental managers in helping to make sound environmental decisions.  He has worked tirelessly to bring more and more features required by it's users to Marxan, now taking it to "the cloud" and extending it to be applicable on land, fresh water and oceans.  Matt has also collaborated with other UQ researchers to develop V-Track, Oz-Track and C-Plan.
