Over the past few years, Jesse VanDenKooy (Music BFA 15, Critical Studies MFA 17) has merged his love for music, creativity, production, and technology (shout out to MTIID).

He has been leading software development as Technology Solutions Architect for Redrock Entertainment, a powerhouse in the creative production and talent management space producing events like Riot Games’ appearance at Afrotech making sure that characters developed in its games reflect players around the world; as well as the Latin Grammy Awards; the red carpet premiere of Wicked; and large-scale music festivals like Sick New World, When We Were Young, and Bésame Mucho.

He also operates Kooy Pond Technology and consults with indie contractors and businesses to empower those who need help with incorporating automation into their lives.
