At Aalto University, I study how digital technologies shape creative markets and work. My research bridges digital sociology, platform economics, and market design.

As a Doctoral Researcher at Aalto University, I examined digital creative markets, digital labor, and the sociotechnical dynamics of emerging technologies. I combined critical theory and mixed methods to explore how technology transforms value creation, identity, and work.

I also served as a teaching assistant for courses including Project Management and Consulting Practices, Managerial Marketing Analytics, and Fashion Marketing.

Earlier, as a Summer Research Intern at International Institute of Information Technology – Bangalore, I built a prototype to detect Net Neutrality violations by Indian ISPs over mobile networks using Record and Replay mechanisms, in collaboration with Phimetrics.
