Work & Experience

Lead developer on a flagship augmented reality prototype (AR CAD) for Snapchat Spectacles, guiding a 4-person team to be awarded $20K in funding. Built the first collaborative Spectacles lens for engineers to visualize and share 3D models in real-world environments, cutting prototyping costs by ~40% and accelerating design iteration.

Built CNN models to generate realistic 3D hair reconstructions across diverse demographics, raising accuracy to 96% and enabling deployment on lightweight devices. Developed a robust extraction pipeline with OpenCV and SAM segmentation that handles poor-quality images and achieves perfect segmentation on 98% of images.

Leading strategic partnerships and external relations for Stanford's premier Extended Reality organization. Co-led launch of partnerships with Meta, NVIDIA, Amazon, and Snapchat. Organized immersive technology hackathons engaging 300+ participants in XR and Spatial Computing projects.

Engineered an AR application for Snap Spectacles using Lens Studio and JavaScript, leveraging environmental testing to evaluate perception levels and enabling analysis of 92% of the available field of vision. Created a process to transform video into accurate 3D environments by integrating SLAM and point-cloud segmentation models, optimizing output by 44%.
