Hi, my name is
Ria Chockalingam.
I'm a UI/UX de|
I build at the intersection of code and design - developing interfaces that look as good as they function. Graduating from UC Santa Cruz with a Computer Science B.S. in June 2025 🌱 💻
🎨 About Me
Hi! My name is Ria and I enjoy anything development and design related. An initial interest in sculpting funky characters in Blender kickstarted 7+ years of 3D, Front-end, and UI/UX experience.
I've had the chance to intern as a Front-end Developer for Streetline Inc. and Tech4Good, work as a Synthetic Data Engineer for Motif, create 3D websites like Spcwby.com, and work as a 3D modeler for a range of companies and startups, including Virbela and Augmio.
I'm currently finishing up my fourth-year as a Computer Science student at UC Santa Cruz.
Some languages and tools I use include:
- JavaScript
- C/C++
- React
- Three.js
- Blender
- Figma
- Python
- WebGL
- Photoshop
💻 Where I’ve Worked
Synthetic Data Engineer @ Motif
DEC 2023 - PRESENT
- Automating 3D workflows and developing scalable 3D data tools to generate synthetic data for Motif, an AI- driven AEC startup revolutionizing architectural software that has raised $46 million in funding.
- Designing and implementing scalable scripts using Python, C++, and C# with the Revit API, streamlining data processing and tool automation in Revit, V-Ray Standalone, Enscape, and PyRevit.
- Optimizing API performance and rendering pipelines to significantly reduce rendering times.
