CHICAGO, Sept. 7, 2023 - Enklu, the leading commercial spatial computing platform in Augmented Reality, is thrilled to announce the appointment of Mike Spertus as its new Chief Technology Officer. Spertus leaves his position as a Senior Principal Engineer at AWS, where he provided technical leadership in Developer Tools, Low Code, and Generative AI.

Why Spertus Chose Enklu

"The future of computers will be interacting with them naturally in reality, not just staring at screens. I can't imagine a bigger opportunity to create that future than to join the company that is leading the present. With Enklu's spatial computing leadership in creator tooling, cloud services, operations, and customer engagement, we are already delivering on that vision," says Spertus.

A Respected Authority in Generative AI and Much More

High points of Spertus' three decades of tech leadership in Startups, Enterprises, and Academia include:

Full Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the University of Chicago, where he teaches Generative AI, Big Data Application Architecture, and C++
Fellow and VP at Symantec, where he led the delivery of robust production cybersecurity platforms used by millions
Helping creators build great applications at AWS Next Gen Developer Experience, at VERITAS as a Chief Technologist in their Application Performance Management division which acquired his developer tool startup, and through decades of contributions to the ISO C++ standards committee,
Holder of 44 patents
Generative AI is a game changer for creating spatial computing experiences, and Mike brings the vision and expertise to ensure that Enklu continues to lead in Spatial Computing through this revolution. At the same time, his decades of successfully building enterprise-grade production services in the cloud and at the edge has taught him that for this revolution to succeed, a strong foundation is equally important. Enklu will be a leader not just in game-changing Generative AI features, but in delivering them as part of complete, scalable, and reliable, state-of-the-art solutions on which customers can build their business with confidence.
