Matt engineered an employee buyout of Cybix Systems, LLC in July 2012 and took the firm from a $50,000 loss per month to profitability within three months. Additionally, they orchestrated a lease buyout, saving $500,000 over 4 years.

From October 2009 to March 2011, Matt worked as an Independent Consultant and Embedded Options Consultant. As a consultant, they wrote software to flexibly simulate several dependent economic variables, including correlations. This software allowed their clients to explore various economic regimes and price a wide range of complex derivatives for pension benefits cases. during this time, they also dismantled the argument of an expert witness for defense by conclusively demonstrating a gross misapplication of the Black-Scholes formula to an embedded option. Matt's client declared the subsequent cross-examination of the expert witness “a huge success”.
