About Kethan Tellis
I build real-time animation and AI systems that bring characters to life. At Uthana, I build generative motion technology that aims to make animation as dynamic, expressive, and responsive as the people behind it—accelerating how games and entertainment create and control motion in real time. Previously at Meta, I productionized the real-time AI technique Codebook Matching, enabling expressive avatar movement across platforms. Before that at Treyarch, I advanced motion matching for locomotion on the Call of Duty: Black Ops franchise, scaling high-fidelity, responsive animation. Driven by a deep connection to movement—through sports (snowboarding, kite-surfing), dance (salsa, bachata, country swing, shuffling), and flow arts (fire rope dart, LED hoop, gloving)—I focus on the intersection of AI, human motion, and computer science.
