Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Pratt is a software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in immersive and geospatial applications, currently building cross-platform AR/VR solutions for HoloLens, Meta Quest, WebXR and mobile AR at PNNL. He bridges Earth and space science expertise with practical engineering—translating a Python ML color-detection algorithm to run on HoloLens and integrating GPS, Bluetooth and LAN networking for multi-user experiences across heterogeneous devices. His work includes public app releases (GeoXplorer, SeismicityAR) and visual development for a planetarium show at the American Museum of Natural History, reflecting a rare mix of scientific domain knowledge, photogrammetry know-how, and production-grade Unity (C#) development. Comfortable with cloud multiplayer stacks like Photon and Unity Netcode, plus ArcGIS tools and time-series analysis, he excels at turning field-measured data and photogrammetry into interactive visualizations. Based in Seattle, he combines a PhD in Geophysics with hands-on field experience installing scientific equipment, making him particularly effective at projects at the intersection of geoscience and immersive tech.
