Summary
Brayden Mclean is a technical program manager based in Berkeley with 11 years of experience driving safe deployment of AI, machine learning, and transportation systems. He currently leads product and model deployments at Anthropic, having previously led cross-functional AI and autonomous vehicle programs that enabled the first fully autonomous passenger rides in San Francisco at Cruise. His background spans data engineering, perception and prediction systems, ML platforms, and on-car accelerators, complemented by hands-on engineering roots in transport and rolling-stock simulation. At Lyft he scaled BI infrastructure and data teams to support petabyte-scale analytics and redirected millions in operational spend through better supply/demand modeling. Brayden combines rigorous engineering analysis with program-level delivery, and he has repeatedly translated research-grade ML into operational, safety-focused services. He’s motivated by increasing human and machine intelligence to enable responsible, transformative technology deployment.
