Genki Kondo is a software consultant and former Meta tech lead with 13 years of experience building VR, mobile (Android), and web products, including leading development on Horizon Worlds and Facebook 360. He blends hands-on engineering in Unity, C#, Java/Android, and React with domain experience in distributed computing, NLP, ASR, simulation, and aviation systems from earlier roles. At Meta he helped bring React Native to VR and contributed upstream Android text rendering improvements to the widely used facebook/react-native project. Comfortable across full-stack and systems-level problems, he now advises on VR, computer vision, and robotics projects from his Seattle base. His background in mechanical engineering and an MS in CS informs a pragmatic systems-thinking approach that often surfaces non-obvious cross-disciplinary solutions.
