Hey, I'm Matas.
I'm a software engineer with focus on web scraping, LLMs & automation. I worked at and founded some startups, co-founded a bakery and created some other interesting projects on the internet.
My projects
Zendae is rate intelligence for large online travel agencies. It watches how competitive an entire inventory is, thousands of hotels and billions of rates, benchmarking every listing against configurable competitor sets so the ones losing money surface on their own. There are rateshops too, for when you want numbers before a negotiation or just want to scout a market. Most of what it does today came from clients asking me the same question in different ways.
Bon Tost, a bakery I helped start. The idea was simple: bake only a few favorite things, and bake them better than anyone else. It ran for two years, served tens of thousands of people and kept a perfect 5.0 rating the whole way. Easily the tastiest thing I have worked on.
Wisefin is an API that makes sense of bank transactions. Give it a cryptic statement line like "17AUG20 SPOTI P2i37" and it hands back the merchant behind it: clean name, logo, website. It started because I got tired of squinting at my own statements.
This Layoff Does Not Exist. Pick a company, a reason and how much accountability the CEO feels like taking, and it writes the heartfelt announcement you have already read a hundred times. The reasons get silly. The tone, somehow, never has to.
TW. Still writing this one up.
