Bio

I was born in Kerala, India, but I lived in Oman for a few years of my childhood, before moving to Canada. My parents' job occupations strongly influenced my academic interests and my career choices. I always wanted to be a cardiologist or oncologist, but now I do computer engineering as my undergrad major. I may pursue medicine in the future, but that would be after I excel with my computer engineering career.

I love playing games! I love free roam games, and those that emotionally simulate players, like Minecraft and What Remains of Edith Finch. Recently, I started to recreationally develop games, and although it is hard, it is very fun once you get through the obstacles of making a working game. I mostly work with GameMaker, but I am learning to use Unity and Unreal Engine.

I also love to read, and listening to music; both of which I have been doing as a child. They are the perfect activities to get inspiration or destress.

Team feedback
Gayathri has been an amazing addition to the team at the Green Career Centre. With Gayathri’s support our relations with external stakeholders have been highly professional especially in conflict-resolution scenarios. Furthermore, Gayathri’s communication style of following numbered lists and frequent messaging made it much easier for us to accomplish all that we set out to do in the term. We are so proud of our collective team efforts, which would not have been possible if it had not been for Gayathri’s leadership, dedication and resilience, even in difficult times when team members were struggling.

We offer resources, events, and a strong network of support in order to integrate underserved communities into the green labour market in what is currently Canada.

First Demo Game on Game Development Engine
August 2022 - August 2022

The first demo game made on a real game development engine was for a project at Innovation Boost Zone. Its purpose was to educate youth about Spotify. The game was made on GameMaker Studios, and required coding I had not done before. It also required personal game asset making, like drawing the Spotify character with a mousepad. A lot of lessons were learned, and in the future, this game will be continued after gaining more experience in coding and game design.

Competition Entry Google Slides Game
November 2021 - November 2021

To enter an organization at school called "Innovation Boost Zone," which specializes in innovation and technology, a competition was held. The requirements were that it has to have the main topic "women in stem", but historical events could be altered for the game, and the game can have an overall theme other than the main topic. The overall theme chosen for the submission was "betrayal," as many women in stem have gone through this. Using this as the base theme, the overall plot was created.

High School SHSM Logo
May 2021 - June 2021

SHSM (Specialist High Skills Major) was available in high school, however only two branches of the major was available; ICT and Environmental SHSM. The school wanted a logo to represent these two majors of SHSM, plus the school's mascot, an eagle. This submission gained the highest votes and was set as the new logo for the SHSM at school, and were printed on merchandises.

High School ECO Club Logo & Mascot
March 2021 - April 2021

A new logo for the high school Eco club was needed and all executives of the group had to create a new logo idea. As the vice president of the club at the time, this logo was personally made. The initial design was a little different, but the overall design shown above is with all feedback included. No clean lines were asked and the design was asked too look as "organic" as possible, to match with the meaning of Eco club. This logo was used for the club merchandise.

A mascot was also made for one of the biggest events held by the club. It was asked to be small, cute, and memorable between other club mascots.
