About Me

Hi, I'm Mathew Harvey

I'm a developer with a passion for creating digital experiences that combine innovative programming with creative visualization. From complex simulations of artificial life to practical marine applications, my work spans the intersection of technology and real-world utility.

With a background in both creative and technical disciplines, I've evolved my approach to embrace AI-assisted development—what Andrej Karpathy calls "vibe development"—to build faster, more efficiently, and with greater creative freedom. My projects reflect my diverse interests in simulation, marine technology, digital publishing, and interactive web experiences.

Vibe Development: Creating at the Speed of Thought

Vibe development is a new paradigm that leverages AI-assisted tools to dramatically accelerate the creation process. It's not just about coding faster—it's about unlocking new creative possibilities by removing technical barriers.

Rapid Iteration

With vibe development, I can prototype and refine ideas at unprecedented speeds. What used to take weeks now takes days or even hours, allowing me to experiment more freely and pursue creative tangents that would otherwise be too time-consuming.

Focus on Creativity

By delegating repetitive coding tasks to AI assistants, I can concentrate on the unique creative aspects of each project. This approach lets me spend more time on design, user experience, and conceptual innovation rather than wrestling with implementation details.

Broader Exploration

The efficiency of vibe development allows me to pursue a diverse range of projects that would be impractical with traditional methods. This has enabled me to create simulation tools, marine applications, digital publications, and interactive experiences all within a compressed timeframe.

Traditional Development

2-3 weeks

Average time to build a custom interactive web application with traditional coding methods.

Vibe Development

2-3 days

The same results achieved through AI-assisted development with more time for creative refinement.
