As a technical program manager on the Epic Games Education team, I focus on designing, managing, and deploying educator training programs, developing and publishing learning resources, and working with stakeholders at Epic, our licensees in Games, Automotive, Architecture and Film and Television and faculty and administration in post-secondary institutions globally.In my role, I work closely with educators to understand their training needs and develop programs that provide practical skills training. I also collaborate with other experts in the field to design and publish learning resources that are up-to-date and aligned with industry standards. This involves managing project schedules and budgets, identifying and managing risks, and ensuring that program deliverables meet quality standards.In addition to managing training programs, I also track and analyze program metrics, report on program progress to stakeholders, and make recommendations for program improvements based on my findings.Overall, my focus is on developing and delivering high-quality educator training programs, and direct consultation to provide educators with the skills and knowledge they need to prepare students for success in the game development industry. I am passionate about creating innovative and effective educational programs that make a positive impact on the industry and help shape the next generation of game developers.

Lead the development of cutting edge interactive experiences for high-end real estate development projects around the world using Unreal Engine 4.

My job is to know absolutely everything about UE4 and help in every aspect of application and video game development with it. From modelling, materials, lighting, animation, scripting or UI, I can handle it or train a team to handle it. I focus on workflows, documentation and leadership to ensure our team is never spinning their wheels, duplicating work or reinventing the wheel, ensuring we deliver insane quality on-time, on-budget and on-[insert marketing term here]!

Specializing in Unreal Engine 4 production pipelines, Blueprints, lighting, materials and special effects. I love pushing the boundaries of what's possible with interactive entertainment and empowering teams to harness their tools to create incredible games, visualizations and simulations.To see what I'm working on, be sure to visit my website at www.TomShannon3D.com.I'm also developing a UE4 game on the side called DroneZone. You can take a look at the development at http://www.DroneZoneGame.com!
