MATTHEW HEENAN LABRECQUE

I'm an undergraduate student at the University of New Hampshire studying Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. My major interests are within the fields of Algorithms and System Architectures. Currently, I work at the UNH InterOperability Laboratory Open-Source Team where I mainly do development on DPDK.

You can find me on X, Codeberg, and YouTube. I also post weekly to Substack.
