Born in the late 70's in Visakhapatnam, in my native Andhra Pradesh, India, I was the named after my grandmother Satyavolu Alamelu Meenakshi Ammagaru who I hear was a very virtuous and gentle lady. I did my Junior School in Timpany School in Visakhapatnam. I moved to Madras, with my family and attended Vidya Mandir (Mylapore) for my Junior High.

Following the Nidamarthi (my mother's family) tradition, I then moved to Rosary Matriculation Higher Secondary School. Having graduated from there I went on to the School of Architecture and Planning, Anna University, Madras. I worked with a number of Middle Eastern and British Architectural Firms during my undergrad.

Intrigued by the research at Stanford University, CA in the field of Virtual Design and Construction, I went on to pursue my Master's in Construction Management there. I am now working with Swinerton Builders in Northern California.
