Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Heinrich is a physics PhD turned builder and operator of reality-capture technology, co-founding Polycam and now serving as its CTO after leading the company as CEO. Over a decade he’s blended deep research in computer vision and 3D reconstruction with product-led startups—from AR ecommerce at Triple.io to crowd-sourced mapping at Ubiquity6—and consults on ML projects through Qrithm. Based in Los Angeles, he has raised venture backing from top firms and operators and scaled Polycam into the most widely used LiDAR 3D capture platform. His background in theoretical physics and hands-on engineering gives him a rare ability to translate complex algorithms into consumer-facing apps and developer tools.
