Matthew Macleod is a seasoned technical leader and VP of Software Systems with 15+ years of experience building end-to-end software for robotics, publishing, and research-focused products. He combines a founder’s pragmatism with hands-on engineering—designing firmware and OS components, shipping autonomous-robot platforms, and scaling software teams from single-digit to 25+ engineers. Comfortable moving between strategy and implementation, he has led cross-functional development, customer integrations, and product delivery across startups and larger organisations. Known for tackling problems that sit outside off-the-shelf solutions, he excels at fast iteration on complex, multidisciplinary systems spanning embedded devices, ML pipelines, and interactive web apps. Based in London and trained as an MEng in Electronics & Computer Science, he brings both deep technical breadth and a strong emphasis on engineering culture and stakeholder collaboration.
