Lumoview builds scan-to-BIM products for capturing, managing and digitally reconstructing buildings. As Forward Deployed AI / UX Engineer, I work where the product meets its users: I take problems from the field, turn them into product decisions and ship the solution. I lead UX and UI across LumoApp, LumoCloud and LumoCad and build what I design in React, React Native and TypeScript.

• Embedded with users. I work alongside surveyors, modelers and quality checkers, in the field and in their tools, and own problems from first observation to shipped fix.
• Design direction. I set UX direction, information architecture and the design system across mobile capture, cloud management and browser CAD, reducing dense expert workflows to their essential decisions without taking control away from experts.
• Prototype to production. I replaced static hand-offs with AI-assisted code prototypes that users can validate within hours and that carry straight into production.
• AI-native engineering. Coding agents and context engineering run through my whole workflow, from research synthesis to implementation, debugging and documentation (more than a hundred commits with AI co-authorship). They also let me deliver in unfamiliar layers, such as a point-cloud processing pipeline in Python.
• Production software. Offline-first data, scanner integration, 3D/CAD interfaces, quality control and multilingual field workflows, plus APIs, automated tests and CI/CD (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Xcode Cloud).
• Between teams. I translate field and domain needs into concepts engineering can build, and technical trade-offs into decisions the business can make, and I structured the process knowledge the company runs on.

Rooms you can hear. A scan captures the elements of a room, and each element is mapped to its own sound sequence. Walking through the room changes the sound: getting close to an element adds sound modules, your walking pace sets the tempo, and you can record what you made.

An end-to-end quality-control workspace for checking 3D models and 2D deliverables without leaving the CAD context.

A transdisciplinary, practice-based master's program for leading digital transformation without pretending complexity can simply be removed.

The four core modules are Digital Innovation, Leadership & Organisation, Design & Creativity and Digital Business Models. Together they cover innovation from idea to prototype, responsible and values-led leadership, organizational development, strategic design, creative work environments and the economic and social consequences of digital business.

Current electives extend this into sustainable innovation, data protection by design, AI and human creativity, digital market research and data governance. I bring those methods back into my product practice; my own projects focus particularly on service design, urban transformation, cyber-physical systems and responsible human–AI collaboration.

Thesis on decentralized data structures for research and administrative data: solid-index.

Selected through ASSIST's international application process for a yearlong scholarship at Waterford School in Salt Lake City, Utah.

ASSIST identifies high-achieving students with strong academic records, curiosity, community involvement and the ability to represent their home country. Scholars are matched with leading private high schools in North America, contribute to the school community for one academic year and join ASSIST's international alumni network.

The year was my first sustained experience of navigating a new culture and education system independently — learning to listen, adapt, communicate across perspectives and contribute before feeling fully at home.
