Xander Luciano is a multidisciplinary engineer with a decade of experience blending software development, CAD/CAM, and hands-on CNC manufacturing expertise. Currently a CNC Prototype Engineer at Amazon after scaling in-house prototype machining at Heliogen, he has a track record of building shop capabilities, tooling standards, and processes that doubled optical mirror accuracy versus industry norms. Equally comfortable shipping web and tooling software, he contributed front-end fixes to the high-profile three.js repo and develops the NC Viewer project on GitHub. His background at Autodesk and Verisurf bridges post-processor tooling, web interfaces, and real-time hardware integrations, enabling faster setups and more predictable manufacturing outcomes. Known for rapid turnaround—delivering hundreds of prototype projects with strong on-time performance—he also teaches and advocates for CAD/CAM workflows, producing popular educational content. Xander combines entrepreneurial curiosity with pragmatic engineering: he designs digital tools that directly improve physical production.
