Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Turner is a product leader and platform engineer with 12+ years of experience building developer platforms for mixed reality and wearables, currently driving the Wearables Developer Platform at Meta. Previously at Microsoft he architected the HoloLens and Mesh developer experiences, formalizing spatial concepts like coordinate systems and anchors and aligning disparate teams into consistent developer APIs. He led standards efforts at Khronos and W3C to converge VR and AR onto common API surfaces, and earlier drove the C#/VB compiler team and the Roslyn-based analyzers that changed how APIs ship with NuGet. Alex combines deep technical fluency (MS in CS) with product strategy, routinely translating nascent hardware concepts into durable, developer-friendly abstractions. He’s known for bringing an engineer’s rigor to product discussions and persuading industry peers to adopt unified approaches they’d thought impractical. Based in Bellevue, he focuses on making cutting-edge platforms accessible and stable for real-world creators.
