  • Xav has been an invaluable member of the Mixed Reality team at tactical, bringing in a wealth of knowledge and technical know-how about Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Game development. During our time working together I’ve not only seen his professional growth and his substantial contributions firsthand, but had n amazing time working together in coming up with really innovative approaches to some really tough problems, all throughout which he kept an amazing and helpful attitude. His contributions went beyond just the technical skills, he was a also a very collaborative team player who was always willing to share his knowledge and experience with the rest of the team and the wider company. I have no doubt he would be a great addition to any team he works with!

  • Xav is a one man army. A creative developer with expertise in 3D, coding and starting in VFX. Xav is eager to learn new things, explore new tools, workflows and technologies. He approaches his work with a great eye for detail and solid technical skills. He is highly responsive, reliable and delivers with a great energy to any team. In his first weeks he built an entire Spatial.io world by himself using our office floor plan and multiple new AI tools for visual inspiration. When Xav joined our team at Tactical he was new to LensStudio Snap Social AR and gracefully accepted the challenges of this new platform. With great results! His Organic Lens; At the Rave reaching 55M plays in just a week.

  • Xav and I worked together on several projects signed by Petaverse and I was lucky to call him my coworker. He consistently gave 100 percent effort to the project and played a significant role in the final result. That is also because his industry knowledge is a huge +. Xav's enthusiasm in the industry is a driving force, his 3D knowledge remarkable, with strong interest in web3, NFTs artists, able to catch trends, outstanding knowledge of the games world, using critical thinking in every aspect of the project development. Xav came up with creative solutions to difficult tasks. I remember once he was the main core of a story-board, I was just listening to his thoughts in a meeting, got inspired and tried to put everything on paper, after this he jumped in 3D to reproduce the elements. It a nice teamwork. His amazing passion for gaming industry and web3 is ideally suited for the project development.

  • Xav is a passionate and innovative 3D engineer. He’s a rare breed that not only can design in 3D but also develop and understand how and when 3D should be used. Frequently Xav would provide valuable, innovative and new ideas. He is a natural leader that others look up to. In the new world of AR Xav is someone you need on the team to drive new concepts and ideas. Working with Xav was great and I’d highly recommend him on any team.
