Chris Aholt is an applied science engineer and PhD mathematician in Seattle with nine years of experience building robust eye-tracking and 3D computer-vision systems for products at Microsoft and Meta, and now advancing applied science at EchoMark. He combines mathematical rigor with practical hardware and software design—authoring efficient, low-power algorithms, sensor simulations, per-user calibration methods, and prototype hardware to push the limits of gaze estimation. His work spans research-grade algorithm development and production-focused optimization, including personalized ML models and analysis of fundamental failure modes. Colleagues rely on him to translate mathematical insight into deployable systems that balance accuracy, efficiency, and real-world constraints. An inquisitive tinkerer by nature, he also pursues independent designs and experimental builds, reflecting a hands-on drive to prototype the future.
