Hi, I’m Matt

I’m an engineer who’s been passionate about vehicles, robotics and dynamic systems as long as I can remember. Quadrotors, planes, racecars and spacecraft are all systems that I’ve found exciting to work on or simply watch. While my past focus was on the mechanical and dynamics aspects, my interests have shifted to the software side and the sensing, estimation and control algorithms that make their motion possible.

I’m currently a controls engineer at Kodiak developing control system and estimation algorithms for autonomous Class 8 semi-trucks. I previously graduated from the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) completing coursework focused on control systems, robotics and machine learning.

My prior background was 5 years of structures analysis and design on various automotive and aerospace programs. Through this I’ve developed strong capabilities in simulation, data analysis and identifying core system dynamics.
