Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Kennerly is a pragmatic Software Engineer II with nine years of experience building reliable automation, tooling, and user-focused GUIs across Python, Kotlin, and Rust ecosystems. At NCR he led small teams to ship test automation frameworks, provisioned complex multi-VM Windows QA environments, and integrated hardware and OCR to automate touchscreen workflows—skills that bridge low-level systems and polished user experiences. His open-source contributions include meaningful UI and core fixes to the iced GUI library and full‑stack work on ludusavi, a respected game-save backup tool, demonstrating both frontend polish and backend interoperability (Wine/Proton/Steam). A quick learner with a knack for clear documentation and process-driven delivery, he often turns manual, error-prone tasks into automated, auditable systems. Fluent in practical problem decomposition, he pairs an eye for clean aesthetics with engineering rigor and mentorship.
