Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Alexander is a software engineer with 17 years of experience who specializes in VR/AR, Unity, rapid prototyping, and low-level Linux tooling. Based in California, he has been building immersive experiences at Meta—contributing to Horizon, Spaces, Venues beta, and Spark AR for mobile—bringing product-grade VR/AR features to large-scale social platforms. His background spans production engineering, founding a small studio, and long-term open-source involvement as a Gentoo developer focused on package management, reflecting strong systems and deployment instincts. Comfortable across code, tooling, and prototype-driven design, he favors hands-on experimentation with bleeding-edge tech while keeping an engineer’s discipline for shipping. A not-obvious asset: his combination of military logistics experience and Gentoo maintainer skills gives him practical operational chops for running and scaling complex engineering workflows.
