Top SchoolBenjamin Van Citters is a Senior Software Developer based in Seattle with 12 years of experience building immersive, user-focused software across desktop, mobile, AR/VR, and interactive installations.

Currently at FUJI Innovation Lab and still taking client work, he emphasizes user-centered design and pragmatic scoping to keep complex systems focused on real people.
