Summary
Jacqui Fashimpaur is a research engineer at Reality Labs Research with nine years of interdisciplinary experience in human-computer interaction, immersive interfaces, and media design. She brings a hands-on background building VR/AR prototypes (Unity/C#), running user studies, and co-authoring CHI work from internships through her current role at Meta. A Carnegie Mellon computer science alum, she has combined academic research and practical engineering—from VR home experiments and pinch-based text entry to production-facing tooling at Google and YouTube. Based in Redmond, she pairs a love of puzzles and games with rigorous experimental practice, often bridging design sensitivity and measurable evaluation. Notably, she has moved between teaching, research assistance, and engineering roles, giving her a rare blend of mentorship, empirical methods, and production software delivery.
