Hey, I’m Avi.

Or, you can call me by full name, Avineesh Kompella. I’m a game developer, engineer, UX/UI designer, and content creator from Los Angeles, California.

I graduated from UC Irvine in 2020 with a bachelor's degree in Computer Game Science, where I was the commencement speaker and received an honor for outstanding service by an undergraduate. I have completed multiple certifications and bootcamps in entrepreneurship, user experience, and computer science, such as Netflix's Career Pathways Bootcamp, and Google's Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design.

Previously, I was an instructor at iD Tech Camps, where I empower students of various ages and backgrounds to explore their creativity and passion for game development and programming. I have taught over 1,000 lessons and guided the design and engineering phases of over 180 students' projects on different engines and languages, such as Roblox Studio, Unity, PyGame, GDevelop, Scratch, C#, Lua, and Python.



I also have a strong background in UX and graphic design, previously serving as the Chief Design Officer for Speckle Corp., a mobile service for improving users’ public speaking skills, during which I managed and led a team of designers in crafting the interface and brand for the company. In addition, I have created and iterated on visual designs for newsletters, social media posts, digital/physical fliers, and website banners as an independent contractor for Stellar Business Management Group's creative services team. 



My goal is to create immersive experiences and interactions between media and people, using my skills in software engineering, UX design, game level design, and gameplay design. I am always eager to learn new technologies and tools, and to collaborate with other creative and passionate professionals.
