I work on the systems that shape learning, work, and opportunity.
01 — What I care about
Not systems that confuse visible activity with learning.
Operational design, legitimacy, coordination, and execution quality.
Especially where care, skilling, and labor markets intersect.
Currently exploring: AI for educational judgment, institutional trust, care work, public systems, and the political economy of implementation.
02 — About
A bridge between ideas and execution — with one foot in systems thinking and the other in implementation.
I have spent the last decade working inside and around institutions that shape people's lives: schools, training systems, nonprofits, startups, and government. That work has made me interested not just in outcomes, but in the machinery underneath them — incentives, operational design, legitimacy, trust, and implementation.
My training spans literature, public policy, and education. In practice, I tend to work as a translator between ambiguity and structure: diagnosing systems, designing interventions, building programs, and clarifying what better execution actually requires.
I am especially interested in education reform, workforce development, care work, state capacity, and the institutional conditions under which reform becomes durable rather than performative.
03 — Selected work
A few places where I have worked on learning, systems, execution, and institutional performance.
Contributed to large-scale onboarding and systems execution in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly ecosystem, supporting processes affecting more than 200,000 public functionaries. The work sat at the intersection of state capacity, coordination, and implementation.
Developed K–12 learning content and instructional systems inside one of India's largest education companies — sharpening my understanding of what high-quality curriculum requires, and what large systems often get wrong about learning.
Worked as a Master Trainer supporting educator development and upskilling efforts at scale, with a focus on pedagogy, communication, and the realities of teacher-facing reform.
Worked in mission-driven organizations where execution quality, stakeholder alignment, and institutional trust mattered as much as the idea itself, including roles spanning program strategy, curriculum, and operations.
04 — Projects
Work that reflects the questions I keep coming back to.
A skilling and employment initiative focused on women's work in the care economy — training and placing nannies, building credible pathways into caregiving roles.
An evolving body of work exploring institutions, informal systems, public legitimacy, and the political economy of how societies organize value.
A Claude-powered assessment-audit tool for undergraduate exams — built from the conviction that evaluation systems should measure understanding rather than reward performative compliance.
05 — Now
Thinking about how educational systems can reduce administrative burden — and return time, judgment, and attention to teachers and learners.
Exploring workforce pathways, the care economy, and the institutional conditions under which reform becomes durable.
Building tools, writing, and projects at the intersection of AI, evaluation, education, and public systems.

Open to thoughtful conversations on education, research, institutional design, and mission-driven work. Collaboration, commissioned research, roles, or simply exchanging ideas — happy to hear from you.
