Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Jerrard is a lead test engineer based in London with nine years of professional experience building and automating robust test systems for consumer TV platforms and STBs. He designs and implements high-fidelity test harnesses—using Python to capture and analyze audio/video at 50fps—to validate dynamic ad insertion and PVR behaviour, and has driven nightly automation suites of 100+ tests. Matthew combines systems-level debugging (C, tcpdump/Wireshark, Linux) with data analysis (Looker, Jupyter) to pinpoint elusive production issues and reduce failed recordings. He mentors and leads engineers, co-ordinating cross-team efforts between development and infrastructure to deliver practical, production-ready fixes. A recent MSc in Artificial Intelligence complements hands-on exploratory work applying deep reinforcement learning to automated testing, reflecting a rare blend of legacy embedded systems expertise and modern ML curiosity. Colleagues describe him as technically-minded and pragmatic, equally comfortable rebuilding product code for trials or prototyping AI-driven test strategies.
