Bio
SIGGRAPH 2025
From age 13, he was driven to create video games, not just play them—tinkering with electronics to blend hardware and software into interactive experiences. At EPITECH, he turned that passion into a profession, working on VR/AR and immersive tech. During an exchange in Stockholm, he met Danilo Grande and helped develop a groundbreaking volumetric display using novel LED tech. He built a custom render pipeline in Unity and Unreal, then moved to Shenzhen in 2018 to join the core team. Together, they launched the first modular volumetric display system, unlocking new possibilities for spatial storytelling.
