AboutSri
Hi, I am Srinath 'Sri' Upadhyayula. I am from Hyderabad, India, where I completed my bachelor's in Computer Science and Information Technology. In my journey to peruse a career in game development, I traveled to London, U.K and graduated with a University of Wales affiliated masters degree in Computing. Most recently, I graduated with a masters certificate from SMU Guildhall.
Making me stop playing any video game was the most frequent father-son battles growing up. "YOU HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR 10 HOURS!". Well, that next level was not going to play itself. I was just trying to help out. *sigh*
In one of the attempts to make me stop playing the original Age of Empires, my uncle angrily shouted, "Real men make games!". Well, I was a 12yr old boy, I went on to complete the campaign as it was my boyish duty; but the idea of making games myself remained with me forever. Make games? Me? AWESOME!
Ever since, I looked for ways to get into the games industry. I pursued a computer science based undergrad, did a crash course on character modelling in Maya, tried out the distance learning course with Train2Game, England, and eventually graduated with a masters certificate from SMU Guildhall.
