Lagoa was the first professional 3D Mechanical CAD and Photorealistic visualization app built for the web. The product enabled multiple users to edit the same data and work collaboratively on CAD designs. A problem faced by many organizations when working with distributed teams engineering parts and assemblies. Lagoa started as a photorealistic visualization tool and was later expanded with CAD features.As a founder, I have built the core founding team with two very talented co-founders Arno Zinke and Dov Amihod. We have prototyped the core product which included a photo-realistic path-tracing rendering engine, a scalable micro-services architecture (in 2011), and a front-end web client using WebGL and HTML5 technologies. At this phase, I was mostly responsible for designing the data-architecture and the client application, as well as ensure we were building the right product.As CEO I was responsible for several critical parts of the business including hiring key management positions, defining the product, managing engagements with customers and suppliers, defining our go-to-market strategy, raising venture capital (Series Seed and Series A rounds) over $7 million from Real Ventures, Atlas Ventures, Siemens Capital and key angel investors. I also led the company through the negotiation and successful acquisition by Autodesk in October 2014.

Built and licensed physics engines for particle physics, airflow simulation (laminar and turbulent flow) and high friction materials. Researched several methods in the domain of numerical simulation.Lagoa-Multiphysics was a Softimage plugin and C++ library licensed to VFX studios, Autodesk (Softimage), and Ubisoft.
