Armin Samii
I'm a 3D Computer Graphics software engineer, building interactive tools and visualizations for everyday people.
About
I am currently self-employed at Robot Armin, LLC and open to short-term contract work.
Previously, I helped humans and self-driving cars communicate with graphics & visualizations at Argo AI, leading the Visualization, Remote Guidance, and User Experience teams.
Prior to 2019, I worked on fashion-technology at Avametric, a virtual fitting room startup that helps you choose the best size for your body. Prior to 2015, I worked on Photoshop Fix and Mix at Adobe.
I received my Master's from the Visual Computing Lab at U.C. Berkeley, advised by James O'Brien and funded by the NSF GRFP. I received my Bachelor's from U.C. Santa Cruz, advised by James Davis.
I am actively developing the Ranked Choice Voting Visualizer - I believe that RCV will make our elections fairer, and the biggest obstacle to its widespread adoption is lack of understanding. I hope the Visualizer can fill some of that gap.

Bartending
I like to bartend for parties, focusing on themed drinks and nonalcoholic drinks that are just as good as their boozy counterparts.
