Summary
Matthew Vick is a Senior Firmware Architect with 14 years of experience specializing in the intersection of hardware, firmware, and software to deliver high-performance, power-efficient embedded and networking platforms. At Intel he architects end-to-end solutions for Ethernet NICs and IPUs, leading cross-organizational efforts—most notably driving a company-wide software/firmware communication protocol with over 40 representatives—to improve debuggability, reuse, and scalability. He brings deep hands-on expertise with ARM microcontrollers, RTOS/Linux environments, and kernel-level C/C++ device drivers across Linux, Windows, and macOS, and is comfortable working in upstream Linux kernel development. Known as a pragmatic leader and mentor, he elevates team output by defining the right abstractions and enabling sustainable investments that maximize product ROI. Based in Hillsboro, Oregon, he combines component-level technical rigor (from flash chip selection to low-level packet primitives) with the ability to translate customer and market needs into shipping, industry-leading products.
