Base Reality VR System for Information Management

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ-r5T_s3Ok

Led the development of a new type of a digital product MVP, from a conception stage to the final delivery stage.

At Aresi Labs, we have developed a system designed to manage information and hold meetings in virtual reality (VR).

It was one of the first systems in the world at that time which allowed up to 16 people to use the space at the same time.

It has shown innovative and never-before-seen ways to convey the information in 3D and recreate LEAN's "War Room" concept in VR.

Methodologies: Agile, Scrum
Technologies: Unity, 3D Max, Sketch, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premier, C#, C++, JIRA, Trello

RBS 70 Large-scale Mapping System

Led an extremely challenging project from the inception and the sales pitch to the final delivery and support stages.

While at BPTI, I developed a method to build large-scale 3D models of real locations (more than 500 square kilometers). These models have had accurate geographic and GIS information preserved in them and could be used for military training capabilities.

We have sold this product to one of the largest defense manufacturers in Europe, for their anti-air simulators systems.

With my leadership, our team has successfully delivered this challenging project ahead of schedule.

Mobile Banking App Prototype

Led the project of delivering a limited scope MVP to build a new digital bank for a largest retail bank in the region.
