Summary
Avery Wagar is a Seattle-based CEO and software engineer with nine years of experience building systems across VR/AR, distributed systems, and embedded programming. He began as an early VR developer and educator—founding a school VR club and launching pilot programs with Oculus—then scaled into backend and SRE roles at companies including Zipwhip, AWS, and Oracle, where he automated large-scale server operations and introduced DevOps best practices across multi-site environments.
