Alexandre Avenel is a product-minded virtual reality engineer with 14 years of experience blending low-level C++ optimization and C#/Unity development to ship industrial VR products. He currently leads product and technical teams at Light & Shadows, launching Stipple (a Unity point-cloud plugin) and scaling Interact, a human-centric VR simulation plugin that doubled ARR in one fiscal year. His background at CEA and MiddleVR centers on real-time physics, sparse-octree voxel tools, CAD importers and performance/latency optimizations for HMDs and CAVE systems. Alexandre pairs hands-on code work—CI/CD, compression and streaming, secure protocol design—with product strategy, customer support and hiring. An active open-source contributor, he improved robustness in the widely used assimp asset-importer and fixed edge cases in other projects, showing attention to quality in tooling as well as products. He enjoys “deleting and optimizing code,” a hint at his pragmatic approach to engineering and product simplicity.
