Small indie studio focused on building high-quality VR/AR games and experiences.

Redmond, Washington, US

• Managed 25+ engineers across multiple first-party HoloLens products in development for Mixed Reality at Work (Enterprise HoloLens solutions).
• Defined, developed and refined processes to help our teams deliver meaningful features for our customers on-time and at high quality.
• Solved performance problems by reducing CPU/GPU bottlenecks within our first party Unity apps by reducing shader complexity, UI canvas hierarchy, and a myriad of other Unity performance optimizations.
• Delivered personal growth plans, performance reviews, quarterly feedback, and peer evaluations for all 25+ direct reports
• Fostered better platform and engine support for first-party HoloLens 2 applications by working closely with the HoloLens platform team and Unity XR team to raise critical issues and help root cause bugs encountered.
• Organized and led all Engineering Architecture Critiques for Mixed Reality at Work. This meeting was where developers from all of our partner studios (80+ developers) would help vet technical architectures for shared.
