Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrashant Kumar is a Staff Engineer in Qualcomm’s XR Advanced Technologies Group with eight years of experience building AR/VR systems, perception pipelines, and tight hardware–software integrations. He specializes in stereo depth, 3D reconstruction, and low-latency reprojection for mixed reality, and has driven Qualcomm-wide adoption of high-accuracy P2P latency systems and XR WiFi controllers. His background blends robotics and embedded systems—from UAV stereo vision and hexacopter path planning to designing hybrid locomotion robots—giving him a rare full-stack perspective on sensors, firmware, and perception software. Comfortable in both C++ and embedded SPI environments, he has a track record of improving late-stage reprojection and depth-from-stereo quality for production MR devices. Based in San Diego, he pairs academic training from Virginia Tech and IIT Bombay with hands-on prototyping instincts, and he’s as likely to sketch circuit diagrams as to optimize a perception algorithm.
