Matt Koidin

Matt was the first actual super-hard-core sports fan on the TR team. While his TR peers geeked out over prediction model hypothesis testing, Matt always somehow found the time to do strange things like read ESPN and attend sporting events for fun. He even knows the players the Patriots drafted this year and who pitched for the Red Sox last night. Perhaps Matt's biggest badge of sports fan honor, though, is the fact that he plays in five fantasy football leagues, which used to sound somewhat impressive until they hired Seth.

Like Tom, Matt fled the Boston suburbs for Palo Alto. (Unlike Tom, over the years Matt has done a much better job of maintaining his Beantown sports cred.) After graduating from Stanford with a BS in Computer Science, Matt co-founded Justarrive, the first e-ticketing platform for college and professional sports teams. He went on to earn his MBA from Duke’s Fuqua School of Business, then served as a Manager in the Strategy and Operations group of Deloitte Consulting. He was TR's first software engineer and CTO from 2008 until 2011.

Today, Matt is the CTO of Pocket, now part of Mozilla. He advises TeamRankings on a variety of strategic and technical decisions, and still occasionally gets his hands dirty helping manage the server infrastructure.
