Hi, I'm Amisha 👋
About
I'm a software engineer turned product designer, currently studying Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology. I've spent years building technical systems — from open-source research computing tools to AI-powered products. I'm now bringing that same rigor into product design, with the goal of becoming a design engineer: someone who can move fluidly between Figma and code, and who designs with an understanding of what's actually buildable.
Right now, I'm interning at Adobe, where I work closely with designers to implement frontend changes — an experience that's taught me exactly what survives the handoff from design file to production, and sharpened my instinct for where design and engineering decisions actually meet.
My path here has included some unconventional turns: I was named a US Presidential Scholar in 2024 and published research in IEEE Xplore on neuromuscular robotic rehabilitation. I've also led and organized hackathons at scale — including HackGT 12, Georgia Tech's largest student-run hackathon with over 1,200 participants — and founded the first in-person hackathon in my hometown from scratch.
What ties all of this together is the same thread I care about as a design engineer: building products and experiences that are practical, technically sound, and genuinely empower the people who use them to tell their own stories. Connect with me on LinkedIn and GitHub to see more of what I'm working on.
Work Experience
Skills
Check out my latest work
I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites and apps to complex embedded systems and AI tools. Here are a few of my favorites.
Inner Hues
A judgment-free digital art space designed to make creative self-care feel more approachable. Led user research through 15 survey responses and 4 interviews, uncovering barriers around time and confidence, choice overload, and fear of judgment. Mapped 5 competitor apps and iterated low-to-mid-fidelity Figma prototypes based on usability testing to improve navigation and guidance clarity.
ATTUNE
A real-time conversational awareness app inspired by the Korean concept of nunchi. Designed an experience that translates emotional cues into a live heatmap and quick-insights panel, with privacy-by-design through opt-in, active-session-only voice recording and analysis focused on emotional state rather than transcript content.
HackGT 13 Website
Helped design and build the website for HackGT 13, Georgia Tech's premier hackathon, creating an approachable application experience for students from all backgrounds. Owned the information architecture, mid-to-high fidelity prototyping, and seaside-market visual concept from initial sketches through launch, then brought the designs to life as a fully responsive React and TypeScript website.
MedEase: AI-Assisted Diagnostic Workflow
Built an AI-assisted diagnostic workflow that allows doctors to securely upload and access PDFs, which are processed by a Retrieval-Augmented Generation model to generate differential diagnoses and key medical details for electronic health records.
Robosense
Created a robotic rehabilitation glove using an Arduino, FSR pressure sensors, and servo motors, and deployed onto Arduino Nano microcontroller using C. Used Python libraries (such as pandas and Matplotlib) to create real time pressure and angle data charts over time.
Educational Website Research
Designed a study to determine the effects of educational website design on high school student questionnaire-based learning, and received over 40 form responses. Developed a user testing website using React.js, Vite.js, and React Bootstrap and deployed project on GitHub pages. Wrote a research paper, documenting the important aspects of the research process using LaTeX.
I like building things
During my time in high school and university, I have attended and helped build 12+ hackathons so far. People from around the world would come together and build incredible things in 1-4 days. It was eye-opening to see the endless possibilities brought to life by a group of motivated and passionate individuals.

HackGT 13
Atlanta, Georgia
As Tech Team director, I helped organize HackGT 13, Georgia Tech's premier hackathon, creating an approachable application experience for students from all backgrounds. I owned the information architecture, mid-to-high fidelity prototyping, and seaside-market visual concept from initial sketches through launch, then brought the designs to life as a fully responsive React and TypeScript website. I pioneered the creation of a new HexLabs app for the event, which allowed students to view the schedule, workshops, and other event information in a mobile-friendly format. - S
SproutGT
Atlanta, Georgia
Helped organize SproutGT, a start-up pitch-a-thon and design-a-thon hosted by HexLabs for over 250 Georgia Tech students. Worked behind the scenes to plan and build the event experience, supporting both the technical and operational aspects of bringing the event to life. - H
HackGT 12
Atlanta, Georgia
Helped organize SproutGT, a start-up pitch-a-thon and design-a-thon for over 250 Georgia Tech students. Contributed to the event's digital experience and technical infrastructure while working with the HexLabs team to bring the event from planning to execution. - H
HackGTeeny 2025
Atlanta, Georgia
First hackathon I helped organize as a part of HexLabs! HackGTeeny is a series of one-hour workshops for first & second year students eager to learn key computer science concepts, with a special focus on skills useful for hackathons. - H
HackGT 11
Atlanta, Georgia
Created MedEase: AI-Assisted Diagnostic Workflow, a web app that allows doctors to effortlessly upload (and access existing) pdf files, which will then be fed to a Retrieval-Augmented Generation Large Language Model (RAG-LLM), producing a differential diagnosis along with important relevant medical information that can be directly input into an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Implemented MongoDB to store user information, a Retreival Augmented Generation vector database, and PDF storage. Won Best Use of MongoDB! - H
HackMIT
Cambridge, Massachusetts
Developed Turtle Tutor, an AI-integrated tutoring web app using ReactJS, PyFlask, and OpenAI models, which allowed students to tutor an AI to learn concepts. - O
Outernet
Cabot, Vermont
