Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEgemen Ertuğrul is an R&D engineer with 10 years of experience specializing in spatial computing, XR, HCI and ubicomp, currently building advanced XR systems at Neva XR. He has led mixed-reality and VR projects from hardware (an open-source XR headset) to software, shipped real-time digital twins and medical training simulations, and integrated ASR and LLMs into commercial products. His background spans academic research (including Fraunhofer and Huawei), university lab leadership at Koç University, and hands-on product work for startups, giving him both experimental rigor and production delivery chops. He frequently bridges disciplines—mentoring teams, writing Horizon proposals, conducting security testing, and engaging in pre-sales—so he’s as comfortable in partnership and business contexts as in low-level technical design. Notably, he’s built end-to-end systems that handle raw device streams and real-time mesh manipulation, reflecting uncommon depth across hardware, graphics, and AI.
