	~~Matlock is highly experienced in configuring modular, scalable network environments using both consumer-grade and enterprise-level hardware. He is known for experimenting with:~~
	* Multi-access point wireless deployments using VLAN-aware bridging
	* Embedded routing with [https://tailscale.com/ Tailscale]-based remote access
	* Fibre-optic audio chaining (e.g. ADAT via legacy MOTU 828) and real-time MIDI pitch shaping

	He maintains ~~an audio~~ production environment ~~focused on DSP modularity~~, ~~using~~ a ~~sampler-based~~ DAW ~~workflow with pitch~~-time control ~~tools such~~ as ~~Newtone~~ and ~~Pitcher~~.		Matlock’s technical expertise spans across three primary domains: networking software and systems, digital audio engineering, and embedded electronics.

			=== Networking Software and Infrastructure ===
			He has developed and maintained scalable network environments using both consumer and enterprise-grade hardware. His configurations often involve [https://openwrt.org/ OpenWrt]-based routing platforms like the NanoPi R5C, VLAN-aware switching, and route advertisement via [https://tailscale.com/ Tailscale]. He is adept at integrating loop prevention mechanisms, DHCP static leases, and custom firewall rules to enable robust LAN/WAN bridging in complex deployments. Matlock has also explored the use of containerized BitTorrent clients (e.g. Transmission, qBittorrent-nox) on ARM-based systems and legacy Linux distributions.

			=== Digital Audio Production and Signal Processing ===
			Matlock maintains a DSP-centric music production environment using pitch/time manipulation tools such as Newtone, Pitcher, and samplers within a DAW ecosystem. His approach includes energy-conscious mixing strategies using RMS measurements over rolling time windows, headroom allocations, and non-destructive loudness control. He has also worked with legacy digital audio gear—most notably, integrating a MOTU 828 interface via FireWire as an ADAT expander for a Scarlett 18i20 setup, often debugging signal chain issues at both software and electrical levels.

			=== Car Systems and Embedded Electronics ===
			His hands-on experience with embedded systems includes debugging automotive braking mechanisms, performing OBD2 diagnostics, and designing safe low-voltage tap circuits using Schottky diodes and voltage dividers. He has also worked with lithium battery chargers, slow-blow fuses, and designed safe shutdown mechanisms for microcontrollers powered by vehicle batteries. Outside of automotive use, he has configured devices like the Raspberry Pi Zero W to act as USB webcams using `uvc-gadget`, simulating video input via `ffmpeg` for testing.
