PROFILE
Matthew Stanciu
Matt Stanciu contributed to the purduehackers/evergreen repository by developing and refining documentation workflows, badge design standards, and event processes over five months. He introduced markdown-based guidelines for laser engraving and badge creation, ensuring manufacturability through explicit sizing, color, and cut line constraints. Leveraging skills in technical writing, project management, and knowledge management, Matt modernized documentation practices by proposing a CMS/wiki transition and establishing contributor-friendly style guides. His work included retrospective analysis and proposal writing to improve event structure and code ownership governance. Using Markdown and YAML, he delivered well-documented, maintainable solutions that streamlined collaboration and reduced production risk.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Delivered two key features for purduehackers/evergreen that advance badge design consistency and knowledge sharing. Key outcomes include the Badge Design Standards Update with sizing and color usage guidelines plus maximum size constraints informed by acrylic sheet dimensions to ensure manufacturability and consistency, and the Badge Design Lessons Learned Knowledge Base to document lessons from previous badge designs with concrete Hack Night examples. These efforts reduce production risk, accelerate future badge iterations, and provide a clear reference for design decisions across teams.
