About me

Since 2017, I’ve been a tech contributor to Wikimedia technical spaces and projects. Since 2020, I’m also serving as a core committee member of the Indic MediaWiki Developers User Group, where we strengthen the technical community by organizing outreach programs, trainings, events, and supporting technical needs of Wikimedia communities in India.

I’m a Computer Science graduate from Amrita University, India (2017–21). In 2019, I attended a summer school on Data Mining and Business Intelligence for Cyber Security applications at Ben-Gurion University, Israel. Currently, I work as a Software Engineer and remain an active tech enthusiast.
