Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Macrae is a Lead Embedded Software Engineer with a decade of experience designing firmware and hardware features, currently based in Brookline, MA. He has driven secure, low-level systems at organizations from Google—contributing to OpenBMC and the high-profile OpenTitan root-of-trust project—to MITRE, where he leads embedded software efforts. His background spans startups (CTO of a modular electronics toy company) to silicon and architecture validation at Intel, giving him a rare mix of product, hardware, and systems-level expertise. Notably, he has hands-on DevOps and build-system experience—improving Bazel-based CI/CD, smoketests, and rust build support for OpenTitan—so he brings both coding discipline and tooling savvy to small, motivated engineering teams.
