Mr. Matté's first experience with Wikipedia occurred {{circa|2004}} when he found the mirror site, TheFreeDictionary. Eventually, he migrated to the source wiki and started editing on Wikipedia under that name on April 6, 2007.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/Mr._Matt%C3%A9&dir=prev&limit=1&type=&user=Mr.+Matt%C3%A9] Matt's edits early on dealt with creating articles for roads near his New Jersey home and articles on United States gubernatorial elections in past years. He contributed scalable vector graphics to these articles using Inkscape such as highway shields, election maps, and municipality maps of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In 2009, Matt also participated in reducing the number of New Jersey and Pennsylvania articles missing coordinates by inserting the Coord template and associated coordinate location of many places in those states.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Mr._Matt%C3%A9 User contributions for Mr. Matté] Between late 2009 and May 2012, Matt wound down his editing on Wikipedia as he was progressing through college but became an active editor again in May 2012 by beginning to add Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files to WP:USRD pages. In February 2013, though starting a full-time job, Matt began reducing the number of WP:USRD articles requiring maps by creating highway maps for articles about roads in New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. As of January 2014, Matt is continuing to work on creating maps for Ohio state highways and once finished, will likely create road maps for another state's highways.

Other areas of interest to Matt include American politician and election articles, New Jersey municipalities, and adding photos of sites around Central Jersey. Unlike many experienced editors,^[who?] Matt does not use any automatic editors such as bots, Twinkle, or AWB; all of his edits are made directly from the Wikipedia text editor (also known as "Edit Source" in the VisualEditor era).
