Embedded and systems code
I write C++ and Rust on Linux, from device modules and packet processing to build systems. I improve what’s already working, modernize where necessary, and avoid rewrites that don’t pay off.
Software that ships.
Hi, I’m Matt Beisser. I’m a senior engineer who has been shipping C++ since 2008 and Rust in recent years, primarily on embedded and performance-critical systems.
Safety-critical and regulated
Some software has to satisfy an auditor, not just a compiler. I’ve delivered under ISO 26262, Automotive SPICE, and custody-transfer regulations. My approach is simple: meet the requirements, capture the evidence, and keep the process lean.
Testing and verification
Production code needs evidence that it works. I tailor testing to the project, from unit and integration tests to full line and branch coverage, with performance benchmarks on real hardware when it matters.
Context-driven engineering
The right process depends on the problem. I work pragmatically, from early-stage R&D to DoD-grade rigor. Estimates come with clear reasoning, and small prototypes test assumptions before they become architecture.
