I'm a human simply trying to become a kinder version of myself every day, toward others and myself.

My digital journey began with a book blog on Instagram in 2021, connecting me to a world of stories, friendships, and creative collaborations. Since then, I've explored everything from freelance marketing to mental health advocacy, and now, I'm deep into tech and community building.

Currently, I'm pursuing a BS in Data Science at IIT Madras—a place that’s shown me the magic of diversity, creativity, and collective growth. I serve as a Notion Campus Leader, where I help hold space for different kinds of learners and foster compassionate teamwork.

• Love, Courage & Honesty: Kindness to myself and others, openness, and the courage to bridge differences.
• Community: Building inclusive spaces where people feel seen and heard.
• Balance: I believe in healthy work-life boundaries, even when “hustle culture” says otherwise.

I lead an independent research lab building neutral, open-source digital public infrastructure — systems designed to meet the reality of human complexity rather than flatten it. Our 2026 focus is the Indian Food Informatics Data (IFID) project: a coordination layer for India's food systems that organises thousands of diverse regional ingredient expressions into functional, interoperable categories without erasing the cultural identity behind them.

Explore the Research Lab— Open research artifacts, field notes, and formal reports on food informatics, regulatory systems, and digital public infrastructure. Read across 30+ countries.

Maintainer of Comfort Mode Toolkit—an open-source initiative dedicated to building perceptually comfortable, inclusive, and customizable web experiences.

We focus on making tech spaces gentler, prioritizing accessibility, user autonomy, and well-being—especially for those who need a little extra comfort in digital environments.

• Explore ideabank—a scratchbook of ideas, some just seeds, some more fleshed out. If an idea sparks something in you, feel free to take it and run—no need for attribution. Build gently, rest well, and be kind to yourself. If your journey leads to kindness or joy, that’s more than enough. Life’s most beautiful journeys are sometimes the quiet ones, shared with someone you love or simply with love.
• I’m always excited to contribute to open source projects that nurture inclusion, accessibility, and comfort.
• Featured Research: Care Framework – Making Accessibility Accessible, Part I: A Care Framework for Developer-Centered Tooling in web accessibility
• Beyond LeetCode – Reimagining technical interviews for the AI Era.
• Context-Adaptive Color Optimization – Balancing brand fidelity with accessibility.

• Feel free to reach out for a chat :>

If you're building something you think I'd love, or want to talk about ideas, accessibility, or community, I'm always happy to connect.
