What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute my skills in web development and content creation while continuing to grow professionally.

I am an experienced web developer and content creator with a strong academic background in cognitive science. Currently pursuing a PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, my research focuses on the dynamics of thought processes and social networks. My academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of experimental design, statistical analysis, and computational cognitive science.

Throughout my career, I have worked as a freelance writer and technical writer, contributing to various projects in the Blockchain and EdTech domains. My role as a Senior Account Manager at ContentNinja allowed me to lead teams of writers and designers, ensuring high-quality deliverables while collaborating closely with stakeholders. I have also gained valuable experience in web development, utilizing technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create user-friendly applications.
