01
AI Agent Integrations
LLM agents wired into systems that already exist. Tool calling, retrieval, evals, guardrails, and the unglamorous plumbing that keeps them from embarrassing you in production.
Taking on new engagements
Senior engineering, embedded — without the headcount.
Matt Lo, LLC is a software consultancy for teams with hard problems and short runways. Since 2014 I've architected, built, and shipped web, mobile, and desktop software for companies like Adobe, Gap, Sully AI, and Storagely — dropping straight into the codebase, not into a discovery phase.

Services
Whatever's actually blocking you.
Most engagements start as one of these and quietly become two or three. That's fine — the scope is a starting point, not a cage.
02
Software Architecture
System design, service boundaries, data models, and migration plans your team can actually execute — written down, sequenced, and defensible in a review.
03
Software Development
Hands on keyboard. Features, refactors, and greenfield builds across web, mobile, and desktop — shipped through your PR process, in your stack.
04
Cloud Infrastructure
Deploy pipelines, infrastructure as code, observability, and environments that stop being a mystery. Plus the cost review nobody on the team wants to own.
05
Security Audits
Threat modeling, auth and access review, dependency and secret hygiene — delivered as a prioritized, remediable list, not a 60-page PDF.
06
Performance Optimization
Profiling front to back: render paths, query plans, cold starts, bundle weight. Find the real bottleneck, fix it, leave the benchmarks behind.

● iOS & Android
● Desktop — macOS, Windows, Linux

How it works
No funnel. No deck. Just a call.
Four steps from your first message to me being in your repo. Usually about a week, start to finish.
01
You reach out
Email or text. A paragraph is plenty — what you're building, or what's on fire. No form to fill out.
02
We talk it through
A 30–45 minute call. We go over the problem, the constraints, and whether I'm genuinely the right person for it. Sometimes the answer is no, and I'll say so.
03
Scope and terms
A short written scope: outcomes, weekly hours, rate, and a start date. Paperwork through your MSA or mine — whichever moves faster.
04
Embedded and shipping
In your Slack, your repos, your standups. Async by default, with a weekly written update so nobody has to chase status.
Engagement
Typical terms.
Most engagements look about like this. If yours needs to look different, say so on the call — it's a starting point, not a rate card.
Working with large orgs since 2014 means procurement, security review, and MSAs are familiar territory, not a surprise.
