Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Gadz is a multidisciplinary design technologist and prototyper with nine years focused on AR/VR, Unity, and real-time graphics, and a longer history in industrial design and product engineering. He has driven hand-tracking and action-decoding prototypes at Magnit/Meta, built MR experiences and shader libraries for research, and shipped technical art for large-scale consumer titles like Pokémon Go. Equally comfortable with low-level HLSL shader work, C# systems, and physical product fabrication, he bridges research, design, and manufacturing to turn novel interaction ideas into testable artifacts. Ryan runs gadz tech—designing and producing smart lamps and furnishings—bringing a maker’s discipline to software prototyping. He documents and packages research findings and tools so prototypes outlive individual studies, helping teams iterate faster on future AR/VR work.
