Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Loomis is a software engineer in California with 10 years of experience building production software and research-grade simulations at the intersection of optics, imaging, and applied physics. His background spans Google and Oracle roles where he shipped large-scale C++ simulations and front-end React/JET systems, and he excels at bridging software and hardware for VR/AR, optical R&D, and oceanographic instrumentation. He holds a PhD in computational imaging from MIT/Woods Hole, has led lab-based measurement projects and real‑time GPU processing, and routinely translates complex optical models into practical tools. Comfortable across Matlab, Python, C++ and CUDA, he mentors junior engineers and moves between prototyping and production with ease. A less obvious strength is his track record of creating one-off experimental devices and measurement pipelines that turned academic ideas into deployable hardware-software prototypes.
