Brandon Manson is a Principal Engineer in Detroit with 11 years of experience building cloud-native AI and data platforms for connected and autonomous vehicle features at Ford. He architects scalable pipelines (PySpark/Dataproc/BigQuery) and LLM-driven tooling that eliminated thousands of lines of boilerplate and accelerated data ingestion and release processes. Brandon has led teams from hands-on anchoring to managing organizations of ~90 engineers, owning complex migrations (Azure→GCP) and platforms that supported millions of OTA updates. He pairs technical depth across data, ML, and cloud services (Vertex AI, Cloud Run) with strong delivery instincts and a knack for turning operational telemetry into predictive models that reduce warranty risk and manual effort. An MBA from Ross and a background in creative production and podcasting give him uncommon strengths in stakeholder communication and cross-functional influence.
