What I'm looking for

I’m looking to use my background in linguistics and accessibility to contribute to corporate research, improve inclusive UX workflows, optimize Text-to-Speech datasets, and build universal digital experiences.

At National Association for the Blind, Delhi, I design adaptive educational frameworks for visually impaired learners using assistive technologies. I’ve observed and documented how 50+ people interact with synthetic speech, using those insights to improve tactile and auditory learning paths.

I guide the use of NVDA, TalkBack, and VoiceOver, and troubleshoot pronunciation gaps in software. I also evaluate and reformat digital textbooks, transcripts, and learning materials to meet structural and screen-reader accessibility guidelines.

With an MA in Linguistics from University of Delhi, I apply phonetics and syntax to descriptive audio content and alt-text for abstract visual materials. My work and research have focused on language structures, cognitive processing, and accessible digital experiences.
