I had a great time at #unrealfest in #seattle last week! As a former game dev, it’s amazing to see how tech that started in gaming now influences industries like film, fashion, architecture, and more. I went with several Nike teammates, and it was a great chance to bond outside the office over our shared passion for the future of 3D tech. I ran into old colleagues from my game dev days which was surreal because it felt like my worlds were colliding after many years away from the industry. While many see me as a ‘shoe guy’ because of Nike, the reality is I’m more of a tech/3D guy than a sneakerhead and I’m fortunate enough to make a career out of blending both worlds.

I also had to the chance to connect with some students from HBCUs and other colleges from marginalized communities to chat about my career journey and other tips I’ve picked up along the way (and yes, some Love is Blind too!). I was reminded about how the 3D industry still struggles with diversity, something I’ve noticed since the start of my career and that’s why I feel it’s important for me, in my position, to pay it forward whenever I can.

Unreal fest was an amazing and experience and I’m looking forward to attending more events in the future!
