About

Think of me as a generalist and problem solver. I've been in software development since 2013, and have worked at early-stage startups and large-scale enterprise companies, in teams less than 10 and more than 7000 (incl. Unity Technologies, Cloudhead Games, and VRChat). I'm passionate about maintaining high quality and best practices in software engineering, as well as driving the state of the art in XR, and want to pass that knowledge on to those willing to learn from my experience!

Marc is an awesome mentor. I had an idea of a VR project. Marc helped me understand that it would take years of effort by breaking down the estimation. Helped me save months of effort starting something unrealistic at the moment. He also shared the current state, the pain points and the use cases of VR. None of which is easily searchable in the internet. I'm super glad I had this conversation. Highly recommend!!!

Marc has been an immense support for me so far. He helped me to get through my anxiety and he helped me see thing more clearly and get closer to my goals. Just having someone to go through the process with you helps a lot, but his insight and experience in the field is also very valuable.
