We are kicking off our Meet The Tutors blog series with one of our expert 3D Game Development tutors George.
George, tell us a bit about yourself and what you’re studying.I love learning about and trying out new technology. I’m particularly interested in gaming technology and the potential applications of artificial intelligence. This lead me to complete a three year degree in Computer Science at Anglia Ruskin University and I’m now studying a Masters Degree there in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data.
What led you to choose this course? And where are you hoping it takes you?
AI seems to be a rapidly advancing technology with lots of interesting potential applications for its use. I’d love to have a career at the forefront of this development.
What’s the best thing about teaching technology to young people?
I never really had anyone who was interested in technology to look up to when I was younger. It’s nice to be in a position where I can inspire younger people interested in technology to pursue their passions.
What would you tell your younger self?
Despite being interested in technology I wasn’t aware of the vast careers available in the various tech industries. Studying at university was my first real exposure to tech skills like programming. I would have loved to tell my younger self to start practising in my spare time or look deeper into how the technology I loved using worked.
What inspires you the most?
I really enjoy problem solving and being able to tackle big issues with technology drives me to continue studying it.
What’s your favourite Fire Tech course and why?
I love playing video games so teaching 3D Game Development with Unity has been a fantastic experience.
What excites you most about the future and technology?
I find the advancements for video game technology really exciting. I recently purchased a VR headset and it blew my mind!
