Brandon Shen

I build systems that work across the full stack, from mechanical design and electrical integration to software and computer vision.

I am currently a research assistant at Stanford University’s SHAPE Lab, developing hardware concepts for haptic sports visualization for blind and low-vision users.

Previously, I designed and built the modular motorized test track at Verdant Robotics. I have also contributed to open source projects including Mattermost and WPILib, and my research on quantum neural network architectures is currently under peer review for publication.

Outside of engineering, I am a former competitive wushu athlete and pianist, and currently a motorsport photographer, most recently I shot at Cold Start 2026 in San Francisco.
