Summary
Matthew Thomson is a software developer with 11 years of hands-on experience building cloud-hosted, serverless applications and machine-learning-enabled products. He has shipped consumer iOS apps with SwiftUI, integrated AI services (OpenAI GPT/DALL·E, Google Speech) and scaled backend logic using Python Firebase Functions and server-side GPU processing. His background spans embedded safety-critical systems, large-scale test automation for cybersecurity pipelines, and production ML workflows handling million-sample datasets. Matthew pairs a strong engineering foundation (embedded C/C++, Python, Docker, CI/CD) with product instincts—monetizing features and marketing apps to close the loop between development and users. Notably, he’s comfortable moving between low-level firmware and high-level AI integrations, having authored processes for SIL 3 safety and deployed cloud GPU inference pipelines. Based in Ottawa, he brings startup agility and disciplined engineering to build practical, user-focused solutions.
