Bio and Affiliation
A philomath, serial tinkerer, and connector of dots. Jayashis "Jay" Bhaumik (He/Him/They) has been in the entertainment, games, attractions, and tech industry for over ten years as a designer, developer, researcher, prototyper, fabricator, and manager. Regarded as an artist by artists, an engineer by engineers, a designer by designers, and an educator by peers and students.
In their spare time, you can probably find them hiking, fishing, cooking something
tasty, tinkering with ham radio, reading up on history, experimenting with the latest
iteration in wacky designs, or pondering how they could present a concept better to
students. In some cases all of the above simultaneously!
