Matt is a Software Engineer, currently heading up Googles Webspam team, he`s been there apparently since 2000! and he still fights the good fight against us all having our search engine rankings listed below those evil spammers Matt also wrote the original version of SafeSearch, which now forms Googles family filter, in his own words he has also worked on “search quality” for several years.
