I am a data and AI professional working at the intersection of technology, governance, and social impact. At CivicDataLab, I lead ParakhAI, developing evaluation frameworks for AI systems in multilingual and high-risk domains. Before this, I spent three years at Partners in Change and affiliated organisations on data-driven initiatives across corporate accountability, impact evaluation, and community welfare. My work focused on building Global South efforts on just transition using business and investment data. I hold a master's degree in Physics and bring 5+ years of experience spanning data science, participatory research, and scientific editing. My key interests lie in labour rights, responsible AI, and inclusive technology.
