My name is Manfred Zabarauskas, I am a Product Manager working at Instagram in New York.
I am passionate about democratizing the next-gen computing: from artificial intelligence, robotics and AR/VR, to cloud, blockchain and biotech.
I first got fascinated by human-computer interaction during my undergrad studies at the University of Cambridge, where I have built immersive 3D displays. I continued pursuing these interests at the University of Oxford where I have built and deployed autonomous photographer robots.
I have built products at Google, Facebook, Instagram, Microsoft and other companies.
In 2013, I have joined Google in Silicon Valley to build the best Cloud user interface. Turns out that such interface is a command-line, so my team launched a widely popular gcloud
CLI.
Afterwards, I have co-founded the Google Cardboard full-time effort. Over time it grew into Google Daydream platform, where I led the team building VR system UIs.
In 2018, I have moved to NYC to be closer to my family in Europe and joined Google Search. There I led a team through over a hundred launches to make people more curious, interested and educated when using Search.
Since mid-2020 I've been working on new AI-based products at Instagram, bringing users closer to people and things they love.
You can find some examples of my work from the last sixteen years in the portfolio section below.

I have built a number of software and hardware products over the last sixteen years. The examples below include commercial projects, academic undertakings, spare-time hobbies and so on. These projects range from single day hacks to multiple year efforts.
Over the last decade, I've had the privilege to study and work with a number of amazing people. Here's the summary of my education and professional experience, but if you prefer, you can get my detailed résumé on LinkedIn. It might even be more up-to-date.
