Mr. Cortez has established a reputation for innovation and leadership as the founder and chief executive officer of Maticus Media 360, based in San Antonio, Texas, since 2018. In this capacity, he offers digital solutions tailored to businesses across various industries and sizes. His responsibilities include addressing client requests, such as website updates, customer relationship management automation and custom artificial intelligence solutions. He also manages technical search engine optimization tasks on a daily, weekly and monthly schedule.

Before launching Maticus Media 360, Mr. Cortez served as a photographer with Threshold 360 in Austin, Texas, from 2019 to 2020. In this role, he honed his skills in immersive photography, capturing and editing 360-degree images for virtual experiences. Mr. Cortez also worked as a photographer for CS3 Photography in Houston, Texas, between 2018 and 2019.
Besides photography, Mr. Cortez excelled as a digital media expert at La Cantera Resort and Spa in San Antonio from 2016 to 2018. Transitioning from human resources to the marketing department, he was responsible for social media graphic design and copywriting. This position sparked his passion for website development and provided opportunities to master virtual experiences and 360-degree photography. Notably, while employed with the organization, Mr. Cortez proposed an interactive virtual tour concept to showcase the property remotely. Although the idea was not adopted at the time, it later proved prescient as businesses sought virtual engagement strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr. Cortez’s earlier tenure at La Cantera Resort and Spa included serving as the group events coordinator from 2013 to 2014. He then transitioned into the role of talent development coordinator in human resources until 2016. In this capacity, Mr. Cortez created onboarding programs for employees at all levels, from directors to entry-level staff, demonstrating his commitment to organizational growth and employee development.
A graduate of The University of Texas at San Antonio, Mr. Cortez earned a bachelor’s degree in biology with an emphasis in genetics in 2011. This scientific foundation has contributed to his analytical approach and problem-solving abilities within digital marketing and software development. Mr. Cortez also obtained Google’s Google Trusted 360 Photographer certification in 2017, further validating his expertise in immersive digital content creation.
Throughout his career, Mr. Cortez has demonstrated a commitment to professional growth by joining industry-related organizations such as Integrated Wealth Systems. Civic engagement has also been central to his values. Most notably, Mr. Cortez volunteers with the Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area and San Antonio Guys for Good, reflecting his commitment to community service beyond his professional endeavors.
Among Mr. Cortez’s most significant professional achievements to date has been the creation of an educational video game experience for students at Mission Concepción, a historic church in the San Antonio area. He developed an interactive virtual space that allows users to explore the mission, integrating informational placards designed to be read aloud to children. The platform requires students to answer questions correctly before progressing in the tour and includes a scavenger-hunt feature. At the conclusion of the experience, teachers receive detailed reports showing each student’s performance, including which questions were answered correctly or incorrectly. For Mr. Cortez, enabling education through gamification stands as his most significant professional accomplishment.
In light of his success, Mr. Cortez has been recognized with accolades like the Best Website Design Award. He credits his success to a love of learning instilled by supportive parents who encouraged creativity and self-belief throughout his childhood. Looking ahead, Mr. Cortez is committed to giving back by launching a pro bono mentorship program called Mindful Moments with Maticus. Through this initiative, he aims to consult, guide and mentor individuals seeking alternatives to traditional employment structures at no cost, further exemplifying his dedication to empowering others within his community.
