Summary
Iker Hidalgo is a researcher and senior software engineer based in San Sebastián with 10 years of experience building full‑stack SaaS and applied research solutions at the intersection of AR/VR, broadcasting and real‑time communications. As a researcher at Vicomtech he combines academic rigor—peer‑reviewed publications and international conference presentations—with hands‑on development using WebRTC, Unity and immersive technologies. He founded and led two startups (ARBI and Educa Reality) that turned AR storytelling and educational products into mobile apps for iOS and Android, demonstrating productized R&D and go‑to‑market execution. His background in telecoms and networking (BT Global Services, AMPO) and a Master’s thesis on smartphone security give him a rare blend of systems, security and real‑time expertise. Comfortable switching between research, prototyping and production engineering, he’s equally at home writing papers as shipping scalable user‑facing experiences. An entrepreneurial technologist, he often bridges academia, EU R&D projects and commercial products to drive applied innovation.
