Summary
Selim Hassairi is a software engineer with eight years of experience building systems across AR/VR, cloud, autonomous systems, and machine learning, currently shaping Oculus VR headsets at Meta. He brings a mix of backend, embedded and research experience from internships at Google (Knative/Serverless) and Facebook Research, plus hands-on autonomy and computer vision work at Sea Machines. As a founder he led a full-stack team to deliver a group-flight booking product, owning architecture, APIs, DBs and UX—demonstrating product instincts alongside deep technical skills. His academic work spans computer engineering and physics, where he built neural networks and classical ML models for astrophysics and drone-network simulations, features that linked research to real-world testbeds. Known for speeding up perception pipelines (8x image processing gains) and contributing documentation and diagrams used for onboarding at Google, he balances shipping production code with communicating complex systems. Above all, he chooses roles where the work’s societal impact matters, blending curiosity-driven research with pragmatic engineering outcomes.
