Meet the Team – Matt Hilborn

We’re pretty cool people, and we thought you might like to get to know us a bit better. Every few weeks we’ll share another bio as part of our “Meet the Team” series.

So, what would you say you do here?

I take the beautiful mock-ups that our design team comes up with and I bring them to life. I also lead a team of talented UI Engineers which focuses mostly on what we can do for our event organizers.

What is your favorite part about working at Events.com?

The culture. Everyone works together so well, and there is an energy here with everyone striving towards a common goal that I’ve never felt anywhere else. We all work extremely hard but love to have fun as well. It makes coming to work something I look forward to.

In the spirit of #events, what is your favorite thing to do on the weekend?

On the weekend, you can find me and my wife at the dog beach with my overly energetic black lab, or at some fun place that serves some of the great beer that we have here in San Diego. Oh, and probably Pizza Port Solana…we go there a lot!

If you could witness any event past, present, or future, what would it be?

Past: I want to witness when the first person discovered beer. I bet their face was priceless. Present: I wish I was in Boston when Meb won…that had to have been a fun celebration. Future: The day of the self-driving car is almost here, so I’d like to skip ahead 100 years or so and see what the technology is like.
