Founding full-stack engineer on a multi-tenant immersive learning platform, taking it from requirements and architecture through to delivery across database, API, and user interface.

  • Delivered the content library used by teachers, schools, and admins, supporting both in-browser 3D scenes and uploaded WebGL builds with previews, one-click importing, and fast tile-based browsing.
  • Built a desktop app for rendering 3D scenes, similar to EON XR, packaged for both Windows and Linux (AppImage) so students can explore experiences outside the browser.
