Colleagues describe him as "Matt is a great game programmer with a solid sense of design. Working in the game business for 20 years, he’s the kind of programmer I have learned to thank my lucky stars to work with. I have found Matt to be not only a fast implementer of design ideas, but a constant generator of them as well. I also have to say that Matt is a lot of fun to work with and easy to get along with - something very important when you put in as many hours as we in the industry do. I enjoy working with Matt and hope to do so for a long time to come!", "Matt is one of those rare programmers with high technical ability as well as a really solid design sense. Time and again I saw him take point on new systems and deliver quality code even in the face of minimal direction and moving goalposts. His communication skills are also top notch -- he was always able to talk about sound rationale behind any decisions he made while also being willing to consider alternate viewpoints or additional information in a very professional manner. All said, I consider Matt to be an excellent engineer and I would not hesitate to recommend for any team I'm on, now or in the future.", and "Matt Cucuzza is a unicorn. He is that rare breed of programmer that natively understands game design and design in general. He has an excellent sense of fun, and is able to architect his systems or behaviors in ways that augment end-user enjoyment. A wise studio head would find a position where Matt could influence systems and their implementation in the positive way he always does. He also happens to be an easy going, avid gamer who's completely able to set aside his hobbies and put in the time needed to get things done. Often times I would think I was closing down our floor at night, and look up to see Matt clacking away, making things work (or trying to figure out why they didn't). I'd be ridiculously stoked to find myself working with him again in the future."
