Lionello Lunesu

I'm an engineering lead and community organizer with EE and CS background and 20 years of international industry experience doing software and hardware. Having worked on a wide range of projects, in startups and multinationals, I’ve accrued broad expertise in areas such as virtual reality, e-commerce, cloud computing, IoT, and blockchains. I'm now applying those skills to develop elegant solutions to difficult problems. I'm active in the local maker communities, having been a staff member in China's first makerspace Xinchejian since its founding. I teach Arduino, electronics, and programming, as well as hosting spaghetti bridge competitions and soldering workshops. I’ve lived in Eindhoven, Bucharest, Beijing, Shanghai, recently moved to Hong Kong. In 1997 I founded a virtual-reality software company, acquired by a multinational company for our real-time 3D rendering technology.
