Brian Machado
Software Engineer
Summary
👤
SeniorBrian Machado is a founder and CEO with nine years of engineering experience focused on making robotics dramatically more accessible and affordable. He founded Bracket Bot to simplify robot programming and reduce hardware costs, following a prior startup, Globe, where he led product development for robot tooling. His background includes hands-on roles at cutting-edge labs and companies—X (Everyday Robots), Tesla (Autopilot/Optimus), Samsung Research America, and research/engineering fellowships—blending research, mechanical design, and productization. Trained in mechatronics at the University of Waterloo, he pairs systems-level thinking with practical prototyping skills from years in robotics and FIRST. Formerly an engineer turned artist on GitHub, he brings a creative perspective to technical leadership and product design. He’s equally comfortable sketching interfaces, iterating hardware, and rallying teams to turn ambitious automation ideas into affordable, shippable products.
