Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Leeper is an engineering leader with 15 years of experience building robotics and AR systems, currently driving product and platform work at Applied Intuition after leading the ARCore API team at Google. His career bridges deep research (PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford) with hands-on product engineering on Project Tango and AR navigation, plus robotics teleoperation at Willow Garage and hiDOF. He teaches as often as he ships, having lectured at Stanford, San Jose State, and Tennessee State University, which reflects a talent for explaining complex systems to varied audiences. Adam blends systems-thinking with practical API design, mentoring teams to deliver developer-friendly AR tooling at scale. Based in Mountain View, he’s actively hiring and interested in connecting with engineers who want to build the intersection of perception, navigation, and developer platforms. An under-the-radar strength is his consistent pattern of moving between academia and industry to translate advanced research into shipped products.
