A little about me

I grew up in a small pind (village) in the foothills of the Himalayas, where I developed a deep commitment to community and climate resilience, protecting our people and Earth.

Over the past few years, I’ve explored this through an interdisciplinary path, using my background in economics and computer science to tackle climate risks from multiple angles. I began in the food security space, analyzing policies, agricultural trends, and public sentiment around biotechnology using natural language processing (NLP) to better understand barriers to climate-resilient farming. Later, I focused on climate change mitigation, especially emissions from transportation, one of the largest global contributors. This work involved policy-oriented machine learning models and scenario planning to help cities meet CO₂ reduction targets through greener infrastructure and behavioral shifts.

More recently, I’ve expanded my work into climate adaptation. I lead on-the-ground efforts in Punjab, working directly with families facing economic and environmental hardship. This includes grassroots fundraising for immediate relief as well as developing long-term, community-driven strategies, like rural climate resilience plans and sustainable infrastructure ideas to protect livelihoods.

I aim to create scalable, community-informed solutions that strengthen resilience, reduce emissions, and protect vulnerable populations, with an interest in climate change mitigation and poverty alleviation. If you're building toward a more sustainable and equitable future—whether through policy, data, or field implementation—I’d love to connect!
