Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Richardson is a multidisciplinary engineering leader with nine years of professional experience (and a longer hands-on background) directing embedded, electrical and cloud-native software projects through Velocity Engineering Systems. He blends deep low-level expertise in C/C++/VHDL, mixed-signal PCB and motor/vision control with full-stack and mobile application architecture (C#, .NET MAUI/Xamarin, Kotlin/Swift) and cloud/DevOps operations across AWS, Azure and GCP. As a consultant and solution architect he has led regulated product development to customer acceptance—navigating FDA/UL/CE/ISO 13485 requirements—while driving adoption of IaC, serverless and advanced analytics for enterprise clients. An active open-source contributor, he’s fixed cross-platform UI and gesture issues in high-profile projects like Xamarin.Forms and .NET MAUI and implemented robust S3 upload workflows for automation tooling. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic end-to-end delivery, bridging hardware prototyping and production-grade cloud services with a hands-on engineering mentality.
