Top SchoolMatt Roche is an Embedded Firmware Engineer with over 11 years of professional experience and more than 15 years in software development, complemented by five years of hands-on electronics design, layout, and prototyping. Based in Ilchester, Maryland, he has been driving firmware development at Thorlabs since 2016, translating complex hardware requirements into reliable embedded systems. With a strong mathematics background from Purdue and Liberty University, he brings analytical rigor to algorithmic and low-level system problems.
