Shaun Mccarthy is a research engineering manager with 13+ years building production ML and computer vision systems, currently leading research engineering for augmented reality at Meta from Seattle. He combines deep technical chops in computer vision, multi-view geometry and low-power embedded constraints with a track record of shipping large-scale ML products at Amazon that served hundreds of millions of users. Shaun has led teams across applied science, data warehousing and platform engineering—dramatically accelerating experimentation cadence and scaling recommendation systems to >100k TPS with sub-10ms tail latency. His background as a longtime CTO and early web developer gives him rare end-to-end fluency from hardware-constrained research prototypes to petabyte-scale analytics. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic research leader who turns forward-looking AR visions into measurable engineering roadmaps and production systems.
