hello
My name is Matthew Peveler. I am currently working as a senior software engineer at Timescale, after it acquired PopSQL, where I was a full-stack engineer. Before that, I was working on my PhD in Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I worked in the Cognitive and Immersive Systems Lab under my advisors, Dr. Selmer Bringsjord and Dr. Hui Su. My research was in the application of reasoning and planning in the usage of large-scale cognitive systems. Outside of work, I am a principal maintainer on a number of open-source projects, such as Submitty, phinx, and asciidoc-py. See my CV and GitHub for the full list of my research and work.

Outside of work and programming, I am an avid skier, consumer of various forms of media, and drinker of beer. Since 2022, I have also gotten into brewing my own beer as well, though I'm still very much an amateur at it. I have had the great fortune of working as a Ski Patroller at Sugarbush, VT for the ski seasons between 2016 - 2022, and then volunteering for the 2015-2016 season, and then 2022 - 2024 seasons. In 2024, I joined the volunteer ski patrol at Brighton in Utah. I have also previously held my EMT-B certification for NYS where I rode with RPI Ambulance as well as worked for a private ambulance company in the Capital District in NY.
