Experience
Built cloud collaboration systems that brought complex CAD projects into wireless virtual reality.
01
The role
IrisVR helped architects, engineers, and construction teams experience building models together in virtual reality. I owned backend and web work that moved projects beyond local files and made cloud collaboration a generally available part of the product.
02
Selected impact
Owned the data model and API for a generally available cloud filesystem that freed CAD projects from local machines for wireless VR workflows.
Designed performant descendant-change detection so deep file-tree updates propagated without repeatedly scanning the full hierarchy.
Shipped an issue-tracking system for architecture, engineering, and construction teams collaborating in VR.
Improved APIs through tracing, batching, and parallelization, and raised the company’s Web Vitals score from 50 to 90.

A closer look
Cloud filesystem
I designed the data model and API for a cloud filesystem that organized large project trees and made them available to wireless VR devices. A key challenge was propagating changes through deep hierarchies without repeatedly walking every descendant.
The resulting system became a generally available product capability and gave teams a durable cloud home for the models they reviewed in VR.
Collaboration
I shipped a GraphQL-based issue-tracking system for teams reviewing buildings together. It connected problems discovered in an immersive session with the broader web workflow used to assign, discuss, and resolve them.
Performance
Across the API and marketing site, I used tracing, batching, parallelization, static generation, and careful measurement to improve responsiveness. That work included raising the company’s Web Vitals score from roughly 50 to 90.
