Working with a global remote-based team on Bigscreen, a VR application that lets users socialize and watch movies and other screen-based content in a wide range of purpose-oriented 3D environments.

As the first hire at the company, I worked with the two co-founders to establish fundamental technology and to build an initial prototype of real-time architectural visualization in virtual reality. The prototype was demonstrated as an MVP during fundraising and eventually evolved into the company's core product offering, which I continued to contribute to over multiple releases with a 30-person team.My work was largely based in the Unity3D engine, using C# and Unity's shader language, ShaderLab. I also contributed to the company's internal tools for processing and optimizing 3D CAD data, written in C++. Being the first member of a team that gradually grew to several dozen people, I was able to gain experience in self-guided decision-making, onboarding and mentorship of newer employees, and large-scale coordination and cooperation.
