MEET THE INSTRUCTORS
 
 
Janet Brown, Co-Founder, Atakote Studios
Janet is a developer and co-founder at Atakote Studios, an independent studio making unique VR and AR experiences in the heart of San Francisco. She is passionate about bringing experiences to VR that appeal to new and both gaming and non-gaming audiences. She also works with companies to build their innovation pipelines and bring compelling products to market, and has done so across Europe, Asia & the USA at McKinsey & Company, as well as key roles at consumer giants like Diageo and Mondalez.  She holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.
 
 
Ram Ramakrishnan, Co-Founder, Head Janitor at Atakote 
Ram is a developer and fix-it guy at Atakote Studios, creators of such VR titles as ‘Live in Color’, currently available on Steam.  He loves working with emerging technologies and bringing content to life, and has done so previously at BT, Intel, IBM, Spotify, and various startups.  He holds a computer science degree from a school who shares its mascot with the GO programming language, and an MBA from Kellogg but does not eat Special K.  He’s also actively working on how to make himself irrelevant with AI (rather than just irreverent).

Bring a laptop if you would like to participate in the trial-class (does not need to be a VR-ready computer)
