About Me

*Author’s note: This is an early draft simply to add content to the site.

Hey,markinberta

I’m Matt Arkin (though in situations where there may be more than one Matt, feel free to call me “markin”). Coding, building things, and helping people are my passion.

Some of my general interests includes payments. We have a large portion of the world just now gaining access to computers and to lines of credit, but how can we make a largely cash based set of users digital? Another area of interest in payments is how can we make it easier to send funds to one another? When its faster for me to walk to one bank’s ATM, withdraw money, and deposit it into another bank’s ATM, something is broken.

Some cool projects I can publicly say I’ve worked on:
Tippt – A Bitcoin based tipping platform for content producers. (Built using Stripe’s Bitcoin beta)
Ikescopter / Manna – A drone based food delivery platform.
Commence – Accept payments with only a couple lines of html.

 

I’ve been published!
The Globalization of Knowledge: A look at Khan Academy

 

Some of my profiles on other sites:
Github – Note: most commits are to private repos
LinkedIn
You can also find me on IRC, I’m normally markin on #stripe in freenode

Think I’m awesome? I accept donations/tips via bitcoin https://www.coinbase.com/matthewarkin
