Top SchoolKevin Lee is an Application Engineer with 11 years of experience building immersive VR/AR experiences and cross-platform game systems, currently working on FaceTime for Apple Vision Pro. He combines full-stack chops—from C#, C++ and Unity game development to React/Rails front-ends and Node/Photon back-ends—with production experience on databases like PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis. Kevin has driven real-time, multiplayer features at scale (AltspaceVR, Mozilla, Hubs) and contributed to notable open-source projects such as ammo.js and networked-aframe, enhancing physics ports and multi-user interaction logic. He’s shipped cross-headset support, novel input mappings, and playful interactables that turned social VR into games and tools used by diverse audiences. Based in San Jose and trained at USC, he brings a blend of systems-level engineering and a designer’s focus on delight and discoverability. An appetite for low-level physics and networking details often surfaces in his work, enabling smoother, more believable virtual interactions.
