I am Miqdad Naduthodi. I am from Kerala, India and I completed my Bachelors in Engineering in 2022 from National Institute of Technology Puducherry. During my college days, I developed a passion for creating 3D content including video-games and animations, and on the path of pursuing my passion, I ended up at the Visualization department at Texas A&M University as a Masters student. I graduated from the school in May 2025.
My time at Texas A&M gave me the opportunity to work with talented artists, technicians and like-minded individuals, and was a surreal experience for me. I also worked as a Teaching Assistant and an Instructor during my time there, helping students with Programming classes, VR/AR and Game Development studio classes. The Visualization program gave me the opportunity to explore and enjoy the amalgamation of creative artistry and technical/scientific research.
As a generalist who likes to dabble in multiple fields in both Animation and Gaming pipelines, I have a wide range of technical projects featuring multiple specializations and displaying my versatile knowledge of tools and techniques. You will also notice a lot of my projects are individual works and hence a testament to my versatility as a generalist.
I play video-games and watch movies/shows as a hobby. I also enjoy Soccer and am an avid supporter of FC Barcelona.
The power of all these available tools/software to come together and act as a medium for storytelling has always piqued my interest and curiosity for this field.
