About Robert Pengelly
I\'m passionate about delivering innovation through technology: tackling hard problems and then organizing and leading teams to deliver creative and breakthrough products that convey a sense of artistry.I\'m an experienced leader with a history of building, managing, and inspiring teams to deliver impossible-seeming products that provide breakthrough user & developer experiences with tight constraints. I build highly successful multi-disciplinary teams, identify and grow talent, figure out how to accomplish what people think is not possible, and then deliver in tight timeframes. My teams have pioneered, designed, and delivered the holographic spatial OS / System UX / Shell / Home for Microsoft HoloLens and Windows Mixed Reality, Microsoft\'s first touch-friendly and next generation UI phone, and Microsoft\'s first augmented reality phone-based features. In my current role, I lead the Simulation and Mapping organizations for Scout, Amazon\'s autonomous sidewalk delivery robot. My teams create high fidelity, realtime, 3D maps and simulations. We create developer tools and SDKs to accelerate development through running virtual deliveries, use of highly photorealistic images to train neural networks, and creation of all maps used in Scout.I\'m driven to achieve.Specialties: 3D Graphics & Reconstruction, Developer SDKs & Tooling, AR & VR, High Fidelity Autonomy Simulation, 3D & Autonomy Mapping, 3D Input & Interaction, People Management, User Experience, User Interface Development and Architecture, Thought Leadership.
