Top SchoolMicah Pearlman is a Senior Software Engineer with 16 years of experience specializing in game tech, embedded systems, 3D rendering, and robotics simulation, now contributing to Microsoft’s Mixed Reality team. He is expert in C/C++, Python, C#, OpenGL/Vulkan, Unity/Unreal, OpenCV and ROS, and has a track record of shipping low-level, performance-critical systems—from ARM SoC drivers and GPU-accelerated vision pipelines to cross-platform game engines and physics. As Chief Architect at FS Studio he built robotic simulators that bridged Unity and ROS, implemented ToF camera drivers and laser-projector renderers on custom Android AOSP, and delivered prototypes for clients like Google ATAP and Toyota Research. Comfortable leading cross-functional teams of artists, designers and researchers, he pairs deep hands-on optimization skills with strong project management to reliably deliver complex products on time. Notably, his work includes high-performance AR translation tooling and an open-source background in graphics emulation that reflects a long-standing focus on squeezing real-time performance from constrained hardware.
