CHRIS ROJAS
‍AR UX PROTOTYPER

I've had the pleasure of working alongside Chris in spatial computing and AR products through multiple projects. He has a deep passion and talent for tech, and vast knowledge of prototyping in spatial computing among other disciplines that makes him a great partner. In my experience he naturally provides a crucial link between design teams and engineers that makes him so invaluable to driving complex problem spaces/ to unique and holistic explorations/solutions, increasing efficiency and helping organizations make crucial tech decisions. I'd strongly recommend Chris for any position in need of someone with deep technical chops who is also an outstanding manager and prototyper.

Chris is an excellent engineer! I worked with Chris on building next generation AR products at Meta. His knowledge of the AR and VR space, both breadth and depth is impressive. I was able to go to him for questions in all areas of the space and on all parts of the stack, and he was always able to provide me with answers and solutions. As a partner his communication and collaboration skills are all great. He is able to explain complex concepts and problems to audiences of various skills/knowledge. Chris had many critical partnerships, so he was consistently able to facilitate key introductions. Chris' work was always impressive, he really helped to drive and envision to me what was possible on AR and VR. Overall really enjoyed working with Chris and he would make an excellent addition to any team.

Chris is a brilliant designer and prototyper, has made a great contribution to the AR use case design, like Spatial UI framework, and mitigation options for a highly constrained system, etc. As a graphics system engineer that lands design into the system, we have collaborated closely during his time in Meta. Chris has not only demonstrated his 2D (like Figma), and 3D (DCC tools and Unity Engine) skills, built great prototypes for different purposes, but also keep a keen eye on key problems, propose initiatives, and actively work together with different cross function teams to find solution. He is also very eager to help if I have any question when we try to make system architect decisions and looking for designer's input. It was really a pleasure to work with him during the last few years, and I highly recommend him as Design Lead or Manager.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris on building next gen AR products. Chris brought great clarity to some of the most high impact and ambiguous projects in the area. He has a talent for bridging the gap between engineering and design. He has a great ability to understand the fundamental constraints of a system and come up with creative means to design fantastic UX that works. Chris was also absolutely prolific: His deep experience in Unity and skills at prototyping meant he was great at tackling high impact projects at a fantastic pace.
