IDENTITY_FILE // ANKIT KUMAR AGRAWAL (AKA) // ESC RETURNS HOME

I build playful machines with an engineer's rigor and an artist's mischief.

My practice spans AI, robotics, interactive design, and large-scale installation art — I turn ambiguous ideas into shipped, felt experiences, and I've led cross-functional teams from a 250+ person festival crew to matrixed engineering pods.

I bootstrapped Amnesea Studios into an Xbox accelerator and publishing agreements with Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation — 5,000+ players, IGN and Times of India coverage.

🌍 OPEN TO RELOCATE — ANYWHERE ON EARTH. I chase cross-cultural experiences; new cities are new design briefs.
