Michela Ledwidge- Director (original) (raw)

Entrepreneur

I am co-founder and CEO of studio Mod specialising in realtime and virtual production and is an Epic Games Approved Service Partner working with Unreal Engine (UE5).

Rack&Pin is my Saa platform providing access to various tools I've designed and built over the years. Rack&Pin has powered real-time projects for museums, films, TV, games, art galleries, online experiences and corporate events since 2006.. My latest tool is Grapho - a graph toolkit for data science and storytelling.

Prior to Mod I founded MOD Films (2004-2009) with a NESTA (UK) Invention award for "remixable film".

My consultancy thequality.com (1998-2008) worked on some of the largest dotcom projects in Europe.

Technologist

My technology experience spans games, media & entertainment, internet, government, finance, retail and knowledge management.

With hands-on skills and experience as a technical architect and executive I've helped deliver ambitious digital products and services with budgets up to US$150m.

Translating between business, creative and technical teams is what I do. From learning to code on the Commodore 64 in the mid-80s, to creating the first website in NSW in 1993 through to building Unreal Engine powered VR experiences today, I'm always building something.
