What I Bring

I design and deliver tech‑enabled programs that scale learning and services across cultures reliably, on time, and with measurable outcomes.

Translate complexity

Turn technical, organisational, and policy ideas into language, learning, requirements, and actions that different audiences can work with.

Design learning & adoption

Build programmes and learning experiences around how people actually understand, adopt, and use new technology.

Lead across stakeholders

Work across governments, NGOs, technical teams, educators, funders, partners, and communities to keep complex programmes moving.

Turn ideas into delivery

Bring structure to ambiguous work through research, planning, requirements, documentation, stakeholder communication, and implementation.

My Past Projects

How I did- Major Project Successes

Different sectors. Different countries. The same challenge: turning an idea into something people can actually use.

Making responsible AI understandable

AI Innovation Factory

Problem: Organisations are interested in AI and agentic systems but need a practical way to understand capabilities, risks and human responsibility.

My role: AI literacy, learning design, research and concept development.

Outcome: AI workshop redesign, responsible-AI learning materials, Agentic Process Redesign, e-learning platform concept/UI, policy research and customer journeys.

Outcome: AIIF adopted the redesigned workshop model internally, and the agentic process concept has been piloted using an internal process.

Scaling digital learning through people

Nepal · Education & Digital Learning

Challenge: Technology was entering rural schools, but sustainable digital learning required more than access to devices. Teachers needed practical skills, schools needed support, and local governments needed to see enough value to continue investing.

My Role: Managed connected education programmes involving teacher development, digital learning, learning resources, government partnerships, funding, reporting, and programme delivery.

What I contributed:

  • Designed and coordinated teacher learning programmes
  • Worked with schools, teachers, communities, funders, and local governments
  • Expanded partnerships with local governments
  • Contributed to grant applications and funding partnerships
  • Managed programme planning, documentation, budgets, reporting, and stakeholder communication

Impact

  • 200+ teachers trained
  • ~20,000 students reached
  • Local-government partnerships expanded from 2 → 4
  • USD 2M cumulative funding secured from multiple sources over three years

Tools & Ways of Working

I combine structured project delivery, AI literacy, lightweight data practices, and people-first change management to help organizations move from idea to adoption

Understand the real problem:

Before choosing the technology or programme, I try to understand what people actually need and what might prevent adoption.

Translate complexity:

I turn technical, policy or organisational information into requirements, learning materials, processes and communication people can work with.

Bring people together:

Much of my work happens between groups with different priorities technical teams, governments, funders, educators, communities and organisational leaders.

Build for adoption:

Whether it's a digital learning programme or an AI concept, I think beyond delivery: What will help people understand it, trust it and actually use it?

Ready to Lead Your Next Responsible Technology Project

Wherever the work is complex, human, and meaningful- that’s where I do my best work.

Across countries, sectors, and systems, I’ve built a career around one core strength: helping teams move from intention to impact. Whether the work sits in AI literacy, digital transformation, EdTech, social impact, or cross-border partnerships, I bring the same approach: clarity, structure, empathy, and the ability to help diverse people work toward a shared outcome.

I’ve led programs in rural schools and national ministries, supported startups and NGOs, built partnerships across continents, and stepped into new cultures with curiosity and resilience. More recently, my work has expanded into AI readiness, responsible adoption, and governance helping organizations understand emerging technologies in practical, human-centered ways.

I’m not limited by geography or job titles. I’m open to global roles, fellowships, cross-sector collaborations, and projects that need someone who can learn fast, adapt fast, and deliver with integrity.

If your team is building something ambitious especially where technology, people, and social impact meet- I’d love to explore how we can work together..
