About
The person behind Machado Labs
Diego Machado
Founder & Senior Software Engineer
“I started Machado Labs after spending years watching the same patterns hold teams back: endless meetings that could have been a message, AI experiments that never left the sandbox, leadership disconnected from how technology actually works, and legacy codebases nobody wanted to touch. I got tired of watching good engineers waste their time on all of that, so I built something different.”
Background
I have over a decade of experience as a senior engineer building production systems for companies like DataCamp, Burger King, Forbes, XP Investimentos, Porto Seguro, and Hospital Albert Einstein, to name a few. That background shapes how I work today: I think in systems, I ship in short cycles, and I obsess over the stuff that actually matters to users.
Machado Labs exists to give companies access to senior-level engineering and real AI expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire or the risk of a big agency. Every project I take on gets my direct attention, start to finish.

How I Work
Results over hype
I leverage AI to deliver measurable business value, not to build demos that look cool but never ship.
Ship fast, iterate faster
I get things into production quickly, learn from real usage, and improve continuously. You see progress every week, not every quarter.
Knowledge transfer
Every engagement leaves your team stronger. I don't create dependencies, I create capabilities.
Transparency
Clear communication, honest timelines, and no hidden costs. If something isn't working, you'll hear about it from me first.
Let's build something together
If you're looking for someone who can both strategize and execute, let's talk.
