As founder of Imagine WebAR and former CEO of Imagine Realities, he has led cross-functional teams, shipped 90+ AR/VR projects, and built in-house tools and CMS for major clients including McDonald’s, Marvel and Disney. His work on McPlay and Happy Meal toy-scanning apps achieved top App Store rankings and demonstrates a knack for integrating licensed IP at scale. Comfortable in both R&D and product roles, he pairs academic research pedigree (award-winning gesture-control work) with pragmatic startup execution. Based in Brisbane, he focuses now on democratizing WebAR in Unity with no subscriptions and full ownership for creators.
