Experience

1. Owner

   Miro3d

   Mar 2016 — Present · Houston, TX, US

   Miro3D was founded out of my passion for both technology and real estate investing. When I first saw the Matterport technology, I realized how much potential it had to impact more than just one industry. Real estate being one of the slower changing industries, somewhat isolated from major efficiency gains due to technology, is now in the middle of a full revolution. Everything is changing from the way contracts are signed, to big data analytics, web base management tools, and online marketing. New efficiencies in this industry are here to stay and Miro3D is helping to usher in next generation technology in one of the most fun ways, 3D. Put your goggles on and watch this real estate revolution.
