A dev shop with one name on the door.
Optimyzer is run by Matthew Perper, a software engineer who has spent seven years building for other people's businesses: fintech, telehealth, defense software, and a dozen-plus small companies that needed a website that actually works. He is currently CTO of Uptick and Vantage Sports, and Optimyzer is where he takes on client work directly.
There is no account manager and no bench of juniors. The person who scopes your project writes the code, ships it, and answers the phone afterward. Matt recently moved to Reno, Nevada and is building the client base here one conversation at a time.

Currently
Optimyzer first. Two CTO seats alongside it.
The same standards that run a trading platform and a sports marketplace apply to a five-page local business site. That is the point.

Optimyzer
When Finite Automata wound down, Matt started Optimyzer to do the client work himself, end to end: website optimization, custom builds, automations, and AI agents for businesses that want one accountable engineer instead of an agency. Now based in Reno.

Principles
Modern work, plain language, measurable progress.
The best technology disappears into a better customer experience and a cleaner operating rhythm.
Useful innovation
We use modern tools when they make the work faster, clearer, or more profitable for you. Not for show.
Measurable outcomes
We focus on leads, visibility, speed, and customer behavior rather than vanity dashboards.
Plain communication
You will always know what changed, why it mattered, and what happens next.
The card
If you were handed one of these, everything on it is tappable here.
Call, text, Telegram, or save the contact to your phone in one tap. Messages go to Matt directly, not a shared inbox.
