He founded Museu.xyz, a metaverse-focused virtual museum that fosters collaboration between artists, researchers, and academic institutions, and now leads tekne.studio to turn brand visions into interactive, motion-driven digital solutions. His hands-on background spans Flash-era interactive work to modern stacks like React, Next.js, TypeScript, Three.js and GLSL shaders, with proven expertise in data visualization, generative art, and large-scale interface interactions.
