Top SchoolMatthew Piatt is a seasoned software leader with 20+ years of engineering experience and over a decade in senior roles, currently directing Software Development, Testing & Deployment for Blue Origin’s New Glenn Integrated Ground Systems. He builds and scales mission- and safety-critical command-and-telemetry platforms used company-wide, blending hands-on technical ownership with product strategy and people leadership. Matthew’s background spans embedded avionics, CI/CD, automation, and infrastructure—he’s practical with Python, C/C++, C#, Docker, Jenkins and large-scale VM/Docker orchestration. He has a history of reducing technical debt, instituting TDD and Scrum, and automating hundreds of daily builds to accelerate delivery for flight software and engines like the BE-4. Outside aerospace he pursues professional audio engineering and volunteers as an audio arts director, bringing systems-level thinking to live production and team-building. That combination of aviation-rated training, flight-systems expertise, and live-event engineering gives him a rare blend of safety-focused rigor and real-world operational adaptability.
