Matt Solnit spent 26 years in enterprise technology before walking into healthcare knowing almost nothing about it. He's now CTO of Pearl Health, a value-based care platform supporting over 10,000 providers and a quarter of a million Medicare beneficiaries across 40+ states.
Mario talks to Matt about why US healthcare data access is shockingly poor in 2026, how Pearl uses predictive models to tell doctors which patients need attention before they end up in hospital, and what it took to get an entire engineering team to a 96% Claude Code acceptance rate. Matt also gets into why he thinks humans will stop writing code within 18 months, how Pearl built an AI on-call agent that cut analyst ramp-up time in half, and why identity remains an unsolved problem in American healthcare.
In this episode, we discuss;
Where the data comes from.
Day-to-day as CTO. Identifying where to apply technology, guiding the board, and why ChatGPT's launch five months after he joined changed everything.
What makes a great engineer in 2026.
Startup engineers versus enterprise engineers.
Why Matt chose healthcare.
The 96% Claude Code acceptance rate. How a $20,000 Anthropic credit led to company-wide standardisation, and why command-line tools converted the holdouts.
