   • Maria Tash — Try On Studio 20 months

     Led the full Three.js implementation inside a React application. Custom GLSL shaders for gemstone rendering and real-time ear deformation; integrated three-mesh-bvh for collision detection. 60 FPS held on mobile. Live in production, publicly accessible.

   • IKEA — IPEX 18 months

     Architected a reusable module converting 2D layouts into interactive 3D scenes. Designed the scene structure and instancing strategies; owned the rendering architecture, performance trade-offs and scalability. Plan → scene conversion under 50 ms (parse + build).

   • CMR Surgical — Virtual Operating Room 6 months

     An interactive virtual environment reproducing the behaviour of the Versius surgical robot: inverse kinematics constrained by angular limits, direct manipulation. Used for commercial demonstration and for training.

   • Virtual island — client under NDA

     Converted a 2 GB Blender environment (hundreds of trees, street lamps, benches, buildings) into a web scene. Under 30 MB shipped — a factor of 68 — at 60 FPS on web and mobile, using GPU instancing and Draco compression.

   Lecturer & Trainer

   Université de Tlemcen — InfoTech

   • 01/2011 — 06/2018 Teaching post, Université de Tlemcen
   • 09/2017 — 06/2019 Trainer — InfoTech

   Taught programming (C++, Java, C#), numerical analysis and optimisation (MATLAB), and 3D (3ds Max). Designed the course material, supervised students, and brought both beginners and experienced practitioners up to speed.

The work that has no plate of its own — configurators, constraint engines, real-time desktop.

• Warehouse Configurator

  2D to 3D conversion, a catalogue of glTF modules, PBR materials, colour and texture customisation, geometry placed under footprint constraints.

• Spatial feasibility engine (personal R&D)

  A deterministic engine for spatial rules and constraints: validating clearances, accessibility and usage scenarios, with multi-criteria scoring. Decoupled architecture, exposable as an API.

• Home configurators & immersive experiences

  3D house configurators, a virtual showroom, apartment walkthroughs, and a 3ds Max plugin for tooling and asset preparation, reused from project to project.

• Real-time architectural visualisation (Unreal Engine 5)

  Interactive architectural visualisation experiences: staging, real-time lighting and materials, scene optimisation and packaging of deliverables. C++ classes exposed to Blueprint (UCLASS / UFUNCTION / UPROPERTY) so artists get reusable interaction blocks without writing code.

Core technical expertise

Technical leadership & collaboration

• Live in production Maria Tash — Try On Studio

  The 3D try-on tool, live on the client's own site. A 20-month engagement.

• Playable demo AeroSchool — Airbus H160

  Interactive helicopter flight instruments, built for training.

• Playable demo 3D product viewer

  Interactive real-time product viewer in the browser.

• Public code github.com/boualemb

  15 public repositories — 3D, graphics, robotics, AI. Also gitlab.com/boualemb.

• Network LinkedIn

  The one missing link, and the first one a recruiter looks for.

• LLM-assisted 3D scene configurator

  An LLM used as an intent interpretation engine: it translates a natural-language description into structured, validatable commands executed by a real-time 3D engine. The model generates no geometry — the scene stays deterministic.

• Computer vision — hazardous-situation detection

  A monitoring system that automatically identifies predefined actions in a video stream and raises notifications.
