Principal Engineer

During my time at Autodesk I worked on many of the industry leading products like AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, Opticore Studio, Showcase and at the end Fusion 360. Many of the tasks mastered were critical to the success of the company in maintaining the top position in regards of market share. Our team was responsibility to ensure that the user has a flawless experience when it comes to photorealistic visualization of their contents. Development was always cross platform and involved coordination with an international team.

Chief Executive & Co-Founder

2009 - 2016

Developing overall company strategy, both from technical and business point of view. Building up NUMENUS was a very exciting adventure. Fulfilling several roles at the same time from talent acquisition to investor negotiations as well as selling and developing the actual product within the available budget. Technical development included cross platform ray tracing and GUI components as well as integrating new plugins. NUMENUS focused on technology to enable real time ray tracing of free-form surfaces (NURBS) instead of triangles for the high end visualization in the automotive sector. The company was sold to Autodesk in 2011 and the direct NURBS raytracing technology is today still available in VRED.
