Hi! I’m Tina, a 🇫🇷 entrepreneur. In 2015 I co-founded Opuscope, which built award-winning spatial computing apps, and partnered with the leading XR platforms along the way.
Today, at Studio Meije, I build apps on Apple’s visionOS, mentor entrepreneurs, help companies achieve more with XR, and work on public projects the French government, including serving on a committee at the National Centre of Cinematography and Animated Pictures.

My story
Building apps since I was 14 years old
I discovered software engineering in 2011 and made a bunch of apps including a music player app on Windows Phone (1M+ downloads), and was subsequently awarded Microsoft Student Partner.
In 2013, while studying at Paris Descartes university I joined the non-profit organization VideoLAN to contribute to VLC. From 2014-2016, I led the development of VLC for Windows Phone, Windows 10, Xbox One, and Microsoft HoloLens. When I joined, the app was a prototype; by 2015 it had more than 25 million downloads and VLC was one of the most popular apps on the Windows Store.
In 2015 I was awarded the Microsoft Regional Director title.
Pioneering the spatial computing era
In 2014, I bought an Oculus DK2 and started tinkering with with it. In October 2015 I’ve had the opportunity to try the Microsoft HoloLens and was blown away. In 2016, with Soraya Jaber, I co-founded Opuscope, a leading french company on AR & VR. With 4M€+ of funding, we built Minsar Studio, an immersive no-code platform to prototype, create and distribute augmented and virtual reality experiences. The app was awarded by the Magic Leap’s Independent Creators Program.
We partnered with Sketchfab on User Generated Content integration; with Microsoft on Azure Mixed Reality (Spatial Anchors) technologies and HoloLens development; and with Meta on the Quest development.
As CTO, I led a team of 25 talented designers and engineers, relentlessly pushing the limits of what’s possible with AR & VR. We made significant advancements in the UX & UI of complex immersive apps, powered by an advanced cross-platform runtime than could run on top of Unity, Babylon JS, or natively on iOS and Android with Babylon Native.
