Vadim Lobanov is an entrepreneurial software engineer and founder with 12+ years of hands-on experience building AR/VR/3D/VFX tools and scalable backend systems. As CTO and solo developer of byplay.io he designed an AR workflow used by 1,000+ artists across 30+ countries and adopted on major streaming productions, demonstrating product-led engineering that bridges creative and technical domains. He has deep full-stack expertise—from Kubernetes microservices and high-load backends to Unity/Unreal 3D pipelines and native mobile modules—and has shipped AI-driven features such as an award-winning coaching product. Based in Berlin, he advises startups while consulting on due diligence and complex engineering projects, bringing a physicist’s analytical rigor from his Novosibirsk State University background. Notably, he repeatedly operates as a small-team multiplier: building production-grade systems mostly solo or in two-person teams.
