Top SchoolAdrian Rodriguez is a user-experience engineer, human-computer interaction researcher, and entrepreneur with nine years of experience building accessible, delightful interfaces across startups and academia. As Co-Founder & CEO of Dreamlinks and a PhD candidate in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington, he designs tangible digital sandboxes and patented tracking systems that make sandbox games like Minecraft accessible to blind and low-vision children.

Adrian’s work blends rigorous research and practical prototyping, and he’s known for translating human perspectives into novel interaction mechanisms rather than just polishing visuals. Based in Seattle, he brings founder-level ownership and an unusual focus on sensory-inclusive play experiences to both industry and classroom settings.
