Hi. I'm Eugene @mentar 馃

About

Short Bio

I'm a tech founder with over 20 years of experience across diverse domains. Recently, my focus has been on leveraging AI to create innovative products that enhance everyday life.

Career

As the CTO of Vi, I led the end-to-end development of Vibe, an app that turned your phone into a fitness gaming console, making workouts fun and interactive. From ideation to architecture to implementation, I was responsible for transforming cutting-edge research into accessible, impactful products.

Prior to this, I served as the CEO and co-founder of Plexus, a Y Combinator-backed startup dedicated to developing high-performance AR/VR gloves. Our gloves gained significant traction within the VR community, and you can find more about the launch on my Reddit post.
