About

I build software for Main Street businesses, and I run what I build.

I help Main Street businesses put AI and automation to work — so the shops that hold communities together can last.

I'm Matt Mahood, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Most of my work is with Main Street businesses and small teams where the process outgrew the tools: AI implementation, software engineering, workflow automation, and operations design.

I own the whole product: product management, engineering, QA, marketing, sales, and operations. I write the code, and I'm also the one who answers when a partner store calls.

The work runs on agentic product workflows. Each AI agent has one job: one takes in a request, one builds, one checks the work. A person approves before anything goes live.

At Moovr I'm Fractional CTO. I re-architected a large-item delivery business from phone calls and spreadsheets to online booking and a partner program, relaunched in March 2026. Through cb+coop I also run Free Website Forever.

I'm open to full-time and fractional roles: Product Lead, Head of Product, Fractional CTO, or Technology Lead. See my CV.

The engagement model is direct. You work with the person building the system. There is no account layer between the conversation and the code, and nothing is delivered as a slide deck that someone else has to implement.

Everything on this site that looks like a product is a working tool. The Lab runs the same analysis structures used in client work.

Why cb+coop?

The name comes from the household: Cooper and company. Three of them supervise every project, none of them bill hours.
