About

Technology meets imagination

Over a decade of building at the intersection of 3D, real-time graphics, and emerging platforms.

Malave.Tech LLC is the independent practice of Leonardo Malave, a New York-based creative technologist and XR developer. Since founding the studio, Leonardo has partnered with agencies, startups, and global brands to bring immersive ideas to life — from VR training simulations and AR museum experiences to full-stack 360-degree platforms.

The work spans the full lifecycle: concept development, technical architecture, 3D integration, cross-platform deployment (mobile, web, headset), and production support. Whether it's a WebVR prototype for a university or an enterprise training app deployed to hundreds of devices, the goal is always the same — make the technology disappear and let the experience speak.
