Matt is responsible for the long-term planning and development of CADconform®, Altiva's software product that promotes and enforces 100% conformance to CAD standards for both MicroStation® and AutoCAD®. He also manages day-to-day development operations.
"Matt's background in software engineering and architecture and his experience in product development make him an excellent candidate to create the vision for CADconform going forward," said Altiva Software CEO Philip Hurlston.
