Harry Simmonds is a software engineer and architect with 12 years of experience building intelligent consumer and aerospace systems, currently at Apple and co-founder of product venture firm Founder Park. He led core Siri music intelligence and HomePod features—redesigning Siri’s search for voice-personalised music and shipping patents for synchronized home playback—and later steered Siri’s reference resolution and eye-tracking integration for Apple Vision Pro and visionOS. Harry has also led mission control and HUD development for Dawn Aerospace’s Mk‑II spaceplane, blending AI, realtime systems, and product-first engineering. A repeat inventor with eight patents in AI and software and a background in music technology from McGill, he is as comfortable in low-level control systems as in consumer-facing machine learning experiences. Based in Wellington, he pairs deep technical craft with product intuition and a track record of shipping features used by millions on billions of devices.
