On a mission to make immersive technology work for everyone

Oye, I'm Cristian (without h), a Berlin-based engineer, technical artist, and founder. I build spatial computing experiences on Apple platforms—and I make sure they work for everyone, including users who navigate the world differently.

I co-founded Realitycheck, where we shipped The Green Spurt, an accessible multiplayer escape room for Apple Vision Pro (AWE Auggie Awards finalist). Before that, I led spatial computing practices, built award-winning BLE health devices, shipped an automotive AI assistant, and created interactive work recognized across CES, Red Dot, and Frost & Sullivan.

20+ years shipping across Apple platforms. Conference speaker. Community builder. I run Step Into Vision office hours for the EMEA spatial computing community.
