Building spatial computing apps for Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest, advising businesses and government agencies on their AR/VR strategy, and mentoring entrepreneurs.

Co-founded with Soraya Jaber in 2016, Opuscope was a leading french company building state of the art AR & VR platforms. With 4M€+ of funding, we built Minsar Studio, an immersive no-code platform to prototype, create and distribute augmented and virtual reality experiences. The app was awarded by the Magic Leap's Independent Creators Program. We partnered with Sketchfab on User Generated Content integration; with Microsoft on Azure Mixed Reality (Spatial Anchors) technologies and HoloLens development; and with Meta on the Quest development. ➡# As CTO, I led a product team of 25 talented designers and engineers, relentlessly pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AR & VR. We made significant advancements in the UX & UI of complex immersive apps, powered by an advanced cross-platform runtime than could run on top of Unity, Babylon JS, or natively on iOS and Android with Babylon Native, which was the first of its kind. # Between 2021 and 2023, we built a social media platform using AR and 3D Maps, with the goal of re-inventing the way people and communities connect in the real-world metaverse. We worked with Niantic and in collaboration with the Google Maps & ARCore teams on these fantastic but very challenging endeavors.

I've had the opportunity of becoming a VideoLabs employee while studying at Paris Descartes university. ➡# I was responsible of the single codebase & adaptative UI/UX for Windows 10, Xbox One & HoloLens. ➡# When I joined the project in 2013, the app was a prototype; two years later it had more than 25 million downloads, and VLC had become one of the most popular apps on the Store.
