Hi, my name is Matthew Rothlisberger. I am a software engineer and electrical engineer.
I am passionate about engineering as a mechanism to improve our world; I find it fulfilling to implement effective solutions for difficult and meaningful problems. I do my best to discover, learn, and use the best tools available. My Projects showcase some of my work.
This site serves as a portfolio of my education, my work experience, and of the engineering projects I have taken on over the years. Sufficiently notable projects will be added and updated as I make progress.
My Blog is also hosted here. It is a place for me to write about problems and solutions that interest me, primarily in the fields of electrical engineering and software engineering. New posts will arrive when I write them.

2016 - 2020
Graduated
Electrical Engineering Focus
I attended TJHSST for ninth through twelfth grades after being admitted through an extensive application process. The highlights of my experience were the two years of hands on electrical engineering classes I took. We began with analog circuit design and built up to processor design, signal processing, and more.
2021 -
USU Event Services
I supply audio, video, and lighting services for events in spaces across a large college campus. I work independently and as part of a team in equal measure. I set up and strike equipment, manage events to ensure that they run smoothly, and operate indoors and outdoors. I am skilled with all the equipment we use, including mixers, light boards, video controllers, audio processors, and integration consoles.

Freelance
I freelanced while my university admission was deferred, and still do to an extent. I am working on various software projects using languages and tools I am familiar with. Whenever I have time, I work on open source and make an effort to learn valuable new engineering skills.
2018 - 2020
Fairfax County Public Schools
I was responsible for overseeing dozens of community events in an auditorium that seats several hundred people. I developed proficiency hanging and programming lighting fixtures; interfacing audio equipment and equalizing signals; and working with customers of many cultures to see their events through. I often worked under time pressure and under unforeseen circumstances to ensure that events ran well.
