Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Rajala is a controls engineer and robotics-focused software developer with five years of experience building embedded systems, motion control software, and firmware for medical and automotive applications. He blends a CS bachelor's and an MS in Robotics from the University of Minnesota with hands-on roles—from developing embedded control for an endovascular catheter robotic system to prototyping ML models on microcontrollers and shaping CI/CD pipelines. As a contributor to the high-profile Uno Platform, he has improved XAML UI components, data binding, and platform diagnostics, reflecting strong full-stack and cross-platform sensibilities beyond typical controls work. Comfortable across low-level firmware, real-time control, and higher-level UI concerns, he brings pragmatic engineering that balances hardware constraints with user-facing polish. Based in Minneapolis, he’s particularly adept at translating research prototypes into production-ready embedded software.
