About Me

Hi there! I'm Amritha, and I'm a Technical Artist. I am currently in the thrilling phase of finishing up my MS in Interactive Entertainment at Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy . I'm also pursuing a co-op at Amazon Robotics as a Technical Artist.

Prior to this, I dabbled in some research in Hardware Accelerators for ML during my undergrad years as an Electronics engineer. I had the privilege of publishing two papers as first author (here's one of them if you want to be very mind-boggled like I was. And here's the other one if you like strawberries).  I also ventured into Germany doing that cutting-edge research and fell off a canoe (River: 1, Amritha: 0). I will admit that Spreewald is very pretty, though (just don't talk to the cows there).

My time so far at FIEA has been spent in picking up a wide range of skills such as scripting Python tools, creating VFX, animation blueprints, and materials, and optimizing games in Maya, UE5 and Houdini. I'm a huge fan of learning how new systems work and solving problems. I particularly enjoy automating and optimizing solutions and systems.

Some of my inspirations: Kingdom Hearts, Astro's Playroom, Ghibli, and Pokemon. I love to draw cartoons about my life, play the guitar, and sing.
