Who is this guy?

A custom hello from Miles Mattina, built for Tripepi Smith with local government curiosity, community event experience, and an always be learning mindset for new tools, projects, and civic problems.

Why me?

card 1 / 8I BUILT YOU THIS WEBSITE.It seemed like the most Tripepi Smith way to say I learn by doing.

The proof

Here's what I've been up to.

A few real things I've built, promoted, organized, branded, and dragged across the finish line.

local pride / events / commerce / content

Buoy Bird

I built Buoy Bird as a Lake County pride project: apparel, Shopify, in person sales, social content, sponsor pitches, and free movie nights that gave people a reason to gather by the lake.

In person outreach

Sold at Concert in the Park and other local events, learned the permit path, worked through city offices, and kept showing up until the brand had real local support.

Cinema by the Shore

Created five free lakeside movie nights with 1,500+ attendees, handling permits, licensing, sponsors, vendors, branding, promotion, and handoff to community partners.

Place based storytelling

Turned Clear Lake, Main Street, and everyday Lake County life into designs and content people recognized as their own.

Shopify + social

Grew the brand to $12K+ revenue with roughly 50 percent margins while running Shopify, fulfillment, product drops, customer service, paid ads, and content that reached 350K+ views.

parks and recreation / public agency systems / event launch

Lake County + Konocti Climb

At Lake County Parks and Recreation, I turned broad assignments into working public systems: kids camp, department branding, social content, contact database tools, and the full Konocti Climb race experience.

166 first year racers

Helped launch the first Konocti Climb with 166 racers and about 20 volunteers, shaping the participant experience from registration materials to summit flow.

Race day operations

Built the operational plan across route, parking, restrooms, shuttles, water stations, staffing, safety needs, finish area, and day of flow.

Interactive website

Built the Konocti Climb website with course information, custom branding, interactive mapping, and a flyover style experience for participants, sponsors, and County staff.

Contact database

Created a county contact database that lets staff search by need, then uses API based structure and recommendation logic to surface the best contacts first.

band / original music / self managed production

South of Sober

The band is another version of how I learn by doing: write the songs, recruit the people, book the room, build the brand, run the logistics, and still get on stage.

Original music

Lead singer, guitarist, songwriter, and creative lead for an active Los Angeles band.

Crowds in the hundreds

Grew from early UCLA shows into larger campus events and Los Angeles venues.

Booking + operations

Coordinate members, rehearsals, venue relationships, gear, expenses, schedules, and show logistics.

Brand + commitment

Named the band, built the website, shaped the visual identity, and bought a cargo van for gear.

We should probably talk.

If you want the official version, it's still glowing up top in the lightbulb.
