ABOUT JAMIE POOLE

I am a Technical Artist for Meta on the Avatars & Identity team, part of the Reality Labs organisation, and formerly of the AR Art team. I specialise in Augmented Reality solutions using digital embodiment and creating the pipeline toolkits to produce art at scale. Prior to Meta I was a Creative Technologist at Dentsu Aegis and have a broad understanding of the digital advertising landscape from Social Media Marketing to SEO practices. Part Creative, Part Developer, I\'m also an expert in modern programming languages, such as the full JavaScript stack (Node.JS / ES6), PHP (we can discuss if this is \"modern\" later :p), Python, C/C++/C#. My role also requires a \"user-first\" understanding of technology and expertise in User Experience design. I have worked in all agency, client and vendor environments, and my previous client-facing roles has given me extensive experience selling and educating clients on complex technology ideas. I have effectively managed key third-party relationships with developers and vendors, as well as the training and management of design teams in efficient web practices. Often as lead expert and consultant to Project Managers, I have the ability to scope and plan projects, with accurate quoting and budget maintenance - and excellent communication skills and ability to translate developer jargon to all relevant stakeholders with varying technical expertise.
