Summary
Matthew Keogh is a Controls Software Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building safety-critical embedded systems, currently on the controls team at Rolls-Royce after a systems/software role at Belcan. He holds an Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering degree from Purdue (specializing in propulsion) and brings practical fluency in C, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, ADA, and requirements tooling like DOORS. His background blends aerospace control theory with real-world software safety practices, making him comfortable translating rigorous requirements into verifiable embedded code. Outside engineering roles he balanced work-study life as a restaurant server, demonstrating reliability and strong time management under pressure. He also explores cloud security topics publicly (mattsec.com), reflecting a broader interest in secure systems beyond embedded domains. Colleagues describe him as detail-oriented with a knack for connecting propulsion concepts to robust control software implementations.
