About Me

Hello and welcome! I'm Erik Malkemus, a seasoned product management leader with over a decade of experience in driving innovation and growth in the tech industry. My career has been a testament to my love for blending technology with art, always striving to create seamless user experiences that not only meet but exceed expectations.

Reflect3D is my latest venture into this realm. It's a personal project that embodies my fascination with the world of 3D. Using precision-aligned mirrors, Reflect3D offers an immersive experience, transporting viewers into captivating 3D worlds without the common artifacts of traditional 3D methods. This isn't just a technological endeavor for me; it's a labor of love. I've personally designed and manufactured the custom components from aluminum and steel and am in the process of setting up a woodshop to bring the prototype to its full realization.

Beyond Reflect3D, my professional trajectory is characterized by an unwavering commitment to harnessing the latest technology to create delightful user experiences. Whether it's the integration of AI to elevate user interactions, as evidenced in my recent roles, or the meticulous crafting of intuitive interfaces, my mission remains consistent: to challenge and expand the boundaries of what's currently feasible. Today, the disparity between our daily experiences and what technology can genuinely offer is stark. This gap, rather than being a deterrent, fuels my motivation. It drives me to relentlessly advocate for and design the most optimal experiences imaginable. I'm committed to ensuring that we're not just adhering to the status quo of the day, but genuinely maximizing what's possible with the technology available to us as builders.

While Reflect3D is a passion project, I see its potential to redefine how we perceive and engage with 3D content. It's an embodiment of my belief that technology, when thoughtfully applied, can be both a tool and an art form.

Thank you for stopping by. I'm excited to share more about Reflect3D and my journey in the world of tech and innovation. Stay tuned!
