About Me

I am a postdoctoral fellow at Saarland University, advised by Prof. Ingmar Weber. I specialize in Human-Computer Interaction for Development (HCI4D).

I recently graduated with a Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science. Prof. Amy Ogan and Prof. Tim Brown were my amazing advisors. My work was on building and evaluating low-cost chatbot to support teachers in low-resource contexts. Here is the draft of my thesis.

I aspire to be a friendly neighborhood HCI/ICTD citizen.

Swimming

I am a long-distance swimmer and have raised money for charity by partnering with NGOs in India. You can read more about my adventures on my blog. Here are some selected swims. 

Software development

Over the past 15 years, I have built technology on the web, Android, desktop, iOS, and hardware gadgets. I still love making things but rarely do it for projects outside my research. After over a decade of fancy portfolios, I kept it simple this time.

Here are some selected projects:
