Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Hampsey is a C++ developer and PhD candidate in geometric control based in Sydney with a decade of experience building embedded Linux systems, computer vision, IMU sensor fusion, and multirotor flight control. He has shipped production-grade software at Seeing Machines and Animal Logic and contributes to the high-profile ArduPilot project, where he implemented trajectory scripting, aerobatic maneuvers and quaternion-based angular velocity integrations for autonomous vehicles. His background combines rigorous academic research in dynamical systems with hands-on embedded and IoT engineering, enabling practical state estimation and control solutions. Notably, his work spans both cinematic-scale image processing for feature films and low-level flight control mathematics, reflecting an unusual blend of creative and scientific problem solving.
