Kafka Summit 2019
Kafka Summit 2019, held in San Francisco, was a major event for developers and data professionals focused on real-time streaming and Apache Kafka technologies, drawing nearly 2,000 attendees from around the world. I contributed to the summit by leading the branding design, and crafting a cohesive visual identity used across digital and physical materials. I also handled the environmental 3D modeling for the event space for installations, and collaborated on animations that brought complex data and scientific visuals to life, enhancing the summit's immersive and informative experience.
