Summary
Oliver Pecha is a product-focused engineering leader and MSCS candidate at Stanford with 10 years of experience launching hardware-software services and consumer apps from 0 to scale. He has led cross-functional programs at Samsung and Leia, coordinating teams of 100+ across global orgs and negotiating OEM/manufacturer constraints to cut cost and speed time-to-market. As founder and CEO of a 360 video app, he combined product, design and hands-on engineering to grow to five-figure MAUs, secure six-figure funding, and forge strategic partnerships with Samsung and Xiaomi. His background spans XR, AR/VR, AI/ML and systems integration, with a track record of turning stalled initiatives into viable, lower-cost solutions. Comfortable wearing multiple hats, he blends user-centered design sensibility (BA in Product Design) with technical judgment and data-driven decision making. Based in the Bay Area, he pairs startup grit with enterprise program experience and is now deepening technical foundations through Stanford CS, focusing on graphics and implementation.
