Hi, I'm Amrita

I'm a junior at the University of Southern California majoring in Computer Science.

My interests lie at the intersection of technology for social good, creativity, and education. Feel free to connect!

Experience

Architected and implemented a Dockerized in-browser terminal to execute python homework submissions. Automated image publishing to Amazon ECR, and on-demand ECS Fargate tasks to pull student submissions from S3, enabling distributed system-level sandboxing for code evaluation. Launched a 50+ participant pilot by conducting product demos and organic outreach to educators, including teachers from USC, UCLA, UCI, etc. accelerating adoption across K–12 and higher ed.

Making LavaLab a place that alumni continue to come back to.

Selected as 1 of 14 developers out of 350+ applicants in USC's premier startup incubator. Worked with a fellow co-developer, designer, and PM to bring our startup to life.

Leading groups of members to create startups and passion projects of their design.

Currently building a productivity app to track what you have done, not what you need to do.

Just for Fun

Each year of my life I dedicate to learning something new. Here are some of the hobbies I've picked up over the years.

Drawing

I love creating digital art, and occasionally swap out my iPad for a regular pencil, paper, and watercolors as well!

Electric Guitar

I started teaching myself the guitar in senior year of high school. I like learning iconic guitar solos, as well as the classic Taylor Swift and Coldplay!

Indian Classical Music

I've been trained in Carnatic vocal music since I was eight years old. It's been a stable way of connecting me with my culture, no matter where I go.

Piano

A childhood love I'm revisiting - I mostly play whatever strikes my curiosity in the moment. I've recently finished up Arabesque by Debussy.
