Summary
Mathieu Vaquez is a software engineer with three years of industry experience specializing in embedded systems, currently working at Meta after a strong track record in RISC-V and secure SoC firmware. He has designed Root of Trust components, implemented secure boot and peripheral drivers for OpenTitan-based platforms, and contributed to hubris OS porting in Rust, combining low-level RISC-V assembly and systems programming. His background spans payment security, video player firmware, and UAV sensor research, giving him a rare blend of cryptographic, multimedia, and computer vision exposure. Comfortable across C, Rust, Python and baremetal-to-Linux environments, he frequently works on FPGA platforms and constrained microcontrollers. Colleagues would note his focus on secure boot architectures and practical cryptographic integration as distinguishing strengths. Based in the Greater Marseille area, he brings cross-cultural academic experience from UTC and Linköping to complex embedded security projects.
