Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFinn Sinclair is a Senior AR/VR Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building end-to-end XR systems, currently working on Apple's Vision Products Group in Seattle. He bridges deep academic research—coauthoring the Best Paper at IISWC 2021 with the ILLIXR group on high-performance XR runtimes—with hands-on product work at Microsoft and Apple, shipping volumetric UIs, interaction systems, and middleware. Finn’s expertise spans runtimes and platforms through volumetric 3D UI and interaction design, driven by a user-experience mindset and a focus on low-latency, power-aware engineering for AR hardware. An active open-source contributor to the widely used Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK) v2, he’s implemented experimental interaction features (like elastic “drawstring” manipulation) and driven refactors that improve code quality. He pairs rigorous systems and graphics experience with practical prototyping of hand, speech, and gaze interactions, making him adept at both enterprise-grade APIs and novel holographic experiences.
