Software Engineer II at Microsoft
Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJames Parsons is a Software Engineer II at Microsoft with six years of experience building cross-platform applications, mobile features, and immersive VR experiences. He combines a strong academic foundation—an MS in Computer Science—and hands-on work in iOS, UE4/Unity, and .NET MAUI contributions, where he fixed real-world UI and platform bugs for a widely used cross-platform framework. Past roles include leading VR development and creating an architectural UE4 template that cut project setup time by ~90%, and research work building ML-driven data extraction and novel NLP wordbreaking algorithms for law enforcement applications. Based in Seattle, he’s practical, self-motivated, and quick to iterate—equally comfortable refactoring platform code as he is prototyping CV/ML systems. An attention to display density and platform-specific quirks across iOS and Windows hints at a detail-oriented engineer who thinks across user experience and low-level implementation.
