Summary
John Ho is a Software Engineer II at The Home Depot with eight years of experience building full-stack web and AR/VR systems, holding a BS/MS in Computer Science with an HCI concentration from Georgia Tech (4.0 MS GPA). He’s shipped production front-ends and real-time mobile tooling (Next.js, React, Material UI) that monitor self-checkout registers across stores, tied together with Redis messaging and Java backend work in point-of-sale systems. His background spans prototyping eye-tracking and AR object-recognition proofs-of-concept, published CHI PLAY work, and hands-on UX research from store visits—bridging engineering with human-centered design. Comfortable mentoring interns and driving analytics (Mixpanel, Looker), he combines pragmatic product delivery with curiosity about emerging interactions in AR/VR/XR. Outside work he tinkers with PC builds and climbs rocks, and he maintains a public portfolio of projects at johnnyhoboy.github.io.
