Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJason Kheir is a software engineer with nine years of experience specializing in Unity, AR/VR, and backend systems, currently building mobile interactions for Reality Labs at Meta. He has led end-to-end HCI/UX research projects, integrated ML models into Unity with performance-focused techniques like data augmentation, and created developer tooling to accelerate research workflows. Prior roles span HIPAA-compliant cloud architecture and VR therapy tools at Karuna Labs, high-throughput ETL at Two Sigma, and resilient backend microservices for blockchain data at Lukka. Jason also contributes to open-source mobile work—improving Android UX and diagnostics for the enterprise zero-trust Firezone project—bringing a practical, cross-platform mobile perspective. Based in Bothell, WA, he combines physics training from UT Austin with a habit of turning research prototypes into production-ready systems. A less obvious strength is his fluency moving between low-level backend reliability and immersive front-end interaction design, enabling features that are both performant and user-centered.
