For a well-rounded experience, my co-founder and I shared responsibilities ranging from leading the team, presenting to stakeholders, communicating with the user base, programming the ‘MVP’ prototype, and developing a business strategy. I enjoyed leading technical tasks; hence I took on the role of CTO. This consisted of being responsible for the early development of our procedural generation prototype to facilitate the creation of 3D creatures. Furthermore, I researched cloud services and blockchain technology in order to define the pipeline for our subsystems to cohesively work together and to discover business model opportunities. Importantly, I organised project management accountability by implementing methodologies for task completion and research tracking in our Notion workspace. Lastly, I lead the creation of our profit and loss statement which forecasted Ylem's financial viability for the upcoming years.
The key objective of Ylem is to provide a holistic procedural solution for our industry. So, in 5 years, what would happen if our company disappeared? Firstly, designers and metaverse developers would be overworked with the demand for assets. Secondly, asset production would become expensive and slower. Finally, without exciting assets that are built to evolve, virtual worlds would be far less engaging.
