Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Halenza is a senior embedded firmware engineer with 20 years of experience building low-level drivers, flight software, and FPGA-integrated platforms for high-speed RF and video processing systems. He combines deep C/C++ and Linux expertise with hands-on VHDL/FPGA work to deliver reliable firmware, device drivers (PCIe, DMA, SpW) and REST APIs across FreeRTOS and Debian-based products. At SEAKR and Daktronics he led driver bring-ups for multi-GSps ADC/DAC chipsets, JESD debugging, and SoC-based solutions used for RF characterization and rapid DSP prototyping. A pragmatic technical lead and mentor, he’s equally comfortable tracing hardware issues as he is designing filesystem and architecture documentation. Known among peers as a "Hardware Whisperer" with a knack for warranty-voiding experimentation, he blends curiosity-driven R&D with production-grade engineering discipline.
