Biography

At CHENEXT Technologies, we develop high-quality extended reality (XR) solutions – which include Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) – for companies in the chemical industry sector. Our XR software packages will provide an efficient and cost-effective way to visualise, simulate and optimise process operator training and plant design communication. These applications are tailored to enhance the way chemical professionals learn and connect with each other. Our vision at CHENEXT Technologies is to become the first choice for chemical companies seeking to accelerate the digitalisation of their industry using innovative XR immersive technologies. We envision a future where every chemical professional can make daily use of our VR and AR solutions to make work procedures and life-long learning safer, more efficient and easier to learn.

As founder of CHENEXT Technologies, I have to master an immensely versatile set of skills and knowledge. I am always eager to learn and I am talented to solve problems in any aspect reaching from chemical engineering, XR development, motivational psychology, instructional design and start-up business. I am a professional who is very driven, creative, dedicated and persistent in my work. I give more than 100% effort to support the digitalisation processes of the chemical industry with the services that my company CHENEXT Technologies provides.

Otherwise, in my personal life I am quite versatile as well. I am a great cook, adventurous rock climber, focused gamer, energetic parkour athlete and avid skater. I like to live my life the fullest by learning new skills and meeting interesting people.

I'm open to share my knowledge and skills to people who are interested in my topics. So, I'm eager to give keynotes at conferences, organise workshops and publish content about chem and XR edutech.
