Summary
Matthieu Bruel is a pragmatic software architect with 13+ years in C/C++ and deep expertise in C++11/17 and Qt, delivering embedded and desktop systems across Linux/Yocto and Debian-based targets. He has a proven track record of turning legacy Java/C# systems into modern, testable C++/Qt architectures and shipping safety- and performance-conscious drivers, simulation platforms, and HMI layers for clients like Airbus, CEA and Liebherr. Comfortable across the stack, he combines low-level device integration (CAN, eventfd, RTI DDS) with multi-threaded, asynchronous designs and strong automated testing experience (unit, integration, Squish). Freelancing since 2019, he has led startup product work and cross-platform mobile/desktop projects using Qt/QML and protobuf, bridging embedded constraints with user-facing polish. Based in Toulouse, he pairs systems-thinking with practical model-driven engineering (EMF/miniEMF) and a habit of documenting and refactoring to make complex codebases maintainable. An underrated strength is his ability to architect for observability and testability early, reducing integration surprises on real hardware.
