Summary
Simone Sun is a Founding Product Design Engineer with nine years of experience uniting product design, front-end engineering, and immersive technologies to ship user-centered products from discovery through delivery. She has led design at startups and research labs—building a mobile-first subscription platform, architecting an engineer-backed design system, and prototyping web-based mixed reality interfaces with NYU’s Future Reality Lab. Comfortable across AR/VR, networked game development, hardware prototyping, and AI/reinforcement learning, Simone quickly masters new tools and bridges design and engineering to reduce handoff friction and accelerate delivery. Her work blends rigorous user research with scalable engineering practices, evidenced by measurable UX gains (usability scores rising from 60% to 90%) and streamlined design–dev syncs. Based in New York and pursuing advanced research at NYU, she pairs academic inquiry in networking media and machine learning with product instincts for practical, production-ready experiences.
