About

I am an educator with experience in higher education, working at the intersection of learning analytics, data-informed teaching, and curriculum design. My doctoral training is in computational mechanics, which shaped my approach to modeling, simulation, data-driven reasoning, and systems-level analysis. This analytical foundation informs how I engage with educational data and institutional processes, viewing education as a complex socio-technical system. My work includes program coordination, project management, and accreditation-related initiatives, with a focus on improving technical education in resource-constrained and underprivileged institutions. I am currently deepening my engagement with data science and learning analytics to better understand learner behavior, curriculum effectiveness, and evidence-based decision-making in academic environments. Alongside my academic work, I am engaged in literary writing (Hindi & English)—poetry and satirical prose—which strengthens my ability to observe systems, question assumptions, and communicate complexity with clarity and precision.
