To Whom It May Concern,
I am an embedded software engineer with more than 40 years of experience and have worked
closely with Matt Scott for the last two years developing onboard telematics solutions for the trucking
industry. To that end, I wrote software for our onboard computers and Matt worked in the Quality
Assurance group verifying the functionality and behavior of our embedded systems and host
computer products.
Our onboard computer products, in conjunction with our host server and database applications are
quite complex and require a high degree of attention to detail in order to verify their proper operation.
Matt is fully capable and able to understand and confirm the highly technical requirements of
hardware and software products. He has the ability and drive to understand technical systems. He
volunteered on a number of occasions to travel to customer sights to assist with them with their
verification of our systems. He interacts very well with customers, is able to understand their concerns
and objectives, and direct them to the proper solutions. Matt has the ability to analyze complex cause
and affect behaviors and provide plausible explanations in a manner that can be readily understood.
In the time that I have worked with Matt, I have appreciated his technical abilities, his drive, work
ethic, and ability to interact with team members to accomplish our corporate goals. Matt adapted
readily when our company adopted the Agile/Scrum methodology. He makes every attempt to work
within the framework defined by the corporation.
I feel confident in recommending Matt for consideration in the areas of Quality Assurance, customer
interaction, technical interface, and as a team lead. He displays the initiative and desire to fulfill the
requirements asked of him.
Sincerely,
Butch Matson
SR Software Engineer
