About

Since 2015, I have been working in the virtual and augmented reality industry as a User Experience (UX) architect, software engineer, and 3D designer. In my current position as CTO at Blickwinkel Tour, I have gained a deep understanding of developing and deploying immersive user experiences and creating tangible solutions that utilize virtual and augmented reality technology.

I use Unity (C#), Blender, and Flutter to create outstanding interactive multi-user experiences on Android, iOS, and the web. I have learned to architect software for web and cloud-based platforms. I write algorithms and code (e.g. with Python) for pipelines that automate content creation. I have successfully overseen software development from design to deployment. Many people have visited my handcrafted virtual worlds for multi-user VR environments for educational purposes.

With over 15 years of work experience in CGI, media, visual effects, advertising, and the software industry, I have also worked as a Creative Director and Co-CEO of a media company, executing projects for leading brands such as Panasonic and Toshiba.

My user-centric design approach solves real problems with an entrepreneurial mindset. I am constantly in the learning process and am happy to share newly acquired knowledge by giving lectures on immersive content and media production. I am a technology enthusiast, tracking the latest developments in areas like Web3, Blockchain, AI, Metaverse, and XR trends, to distinguish hype from significance.
