What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to utilize my linguistic skills in impactful projects, fostering language diversity and cultural understanding.

I am a versatile individual with a strong background in linguistics and language analysis. My passion lies in leveraging my linguistic skills to preserve language diversity and drive meaningful change in society. I hold a Master's degree in Linguistics from Jawaharlal Nehru University, where I explored various aspects of language, including its role in society and its philosophical underpinnings.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in natural language processing at the Indian Institute of Science, where I developed innovative solutions that enhanced efficiency and accuracy in language-based data analysis. My volunteer work with the National Service Scheme allowed me to implement impactful educational programs for underserved communities, leading to a significant improvement in student engagement and test scores. Additionally, my role as a linguistics consultant at Productive Playhouse enables me to contribute to multilingual initiatives aimed at preserving linguistic diversity.
