Hi!

I’m Andrey.

I’m building Cyprus’ GameDev ecosystem and helping developers thrive here. I founded MIXR (CEE’s largest independent XR conference) and Metaplan, and I work across digital, XR, and gaming projects. Occasionally, I help startups and corporations with innovation strategy, BizDev, and immersive tech.
