Experience

• Owner Maouss Design · Self-employed Oct 2022 – Present 3 yrs 8 mos France I founded Maøuss Design to develop cutting-edge 3D VR optics as a consultant for a global content production company. After completing that initial project, my passion for diverse technological challenges led me to broaden my services. Today, I tackle a wide array of design and fabrication challenges, including designing and building steel pipe connectors for local hydro-power turbines and creating 7-meter high LED signs for international fast-food chains.
  
  In my workshop, I utilize a variety of manufacturing techniques such as laser cutting, 3D printing, CNC machining, SMD soldering, and various welding methods to craft functional prototypes and small-series productions. My prior experiences as a MIG-welder and a guitar crafter allow me to efficiently work with a vast range of materials, from metals to wood and leather. I provide detailed 3D scanning with reliable accuracy, can repair, clean, or convert 3D meshes for manufacturing readiness, and also offer comprehensive fabrication documents. Additionally, I provide patent-oriented documentation and intellectual property counseling, ensuring clients can secure and protect their innovations with precision and integrity.
• CEO Big Boy Systems · Full-time Nov 2015 – Oct 2022 6 yrs 11 mos Tournai, Wallonia, Belgium As the founder and CEO of Big Boy Systems, I led the creation of groundbreaking virtual reality technology during a pivotal time when the VR market was nascent. Our flagship product, a headworn VR camera featuring my own patented technology, set new standards for immersive experiences. I personally designed and assembled multiple prototypes, incorporating electronic components into PA12 3D printed camera enclosures of my designs to meet the technological requirements for virtual immersion.
  
  Our technology found a special niche in medical education, with one prototype tailored specifically for use in surgical theatres to enhance the training of medical students. This application underscored the versatility and impact of our innovations.
  
  Under my leadership, our team of five, based in Froyennes, Belgium, showcased our technologies at major international conventions, including CES, where our concept was featured as pioneering in immersive media. We also spent six months developing our prototypes supported by our seed investors in San-Francisco (2018). Although Big Boy Systems ceased operations in 2022 due to the unforeseen closure of our main client post-pandemic, the journey provided me with invaluable experience across the various sectors surrounding the development of tech products.
