Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Mateus is a Firmware Quality Engineer with nine years of software and embedded systems experience, currently contributing to Apple’s firmware QA efforts from Mississauga. A McMaster Computer Engineering student with a Computer Science minor, he blends academic research and teaching experience with industry roles at BlackBerry QNX, IBM, ecobee and earlier embedded QA and developer positions. Nicholas brings practical firmware and embedded QA skills alongside software development experience, having moved between research, product and quality roles across IoT and OS-level environments.
