Top SchoolMatthieu Velay is a Staff Test Engineer with over 18 years of experience delivering robust testing practices for Linux applications across functional, stress and performance domains.

Matthieu has driven test frameworks and load testing at scale for companies like Aircall and Scality, and led a distributed testing organization at Parrot, improving coverage from 60% to 95%. He is comfortable across the stack—embedded C/C++ debugging to cloud-native tools like Docker, Prometheus, ELK, Terraform and Ansible—and often blends engineering with metric-driven QA processes.
