About me

I originally hail from Bikaner, India and currently live in San Francisco Bay Area. Before joining the Wikimedia Foundation, I was a student researcher at the MIT Media Lab exploring how online platforms for learning could be made more peer-led, engaging, participatory and accessible to diverse populations. At the Media Lab, I contributed to the design, development, and research of Unhangout, a platform for running large-scale unconference style events online.

Before MIT, I was working as a software developer with a startup organization in India. As an undergrad, I was involved with the open source community GNOME and its educational project GCompris.

My work

I joined the Wikimedia Foundation in 2016. Since June 2023, I am part of the Language and Product Localization team to provide technical support and outreach to language communities, leading initiatives such as Future of Language Incubation and Language Community Meetings. I support technical contributors by promoting tasks, reviewing pull requests, and addressing internationalization and localization issues. Occasionally, I have supported Community Tech in engaging volunteer developers through projects identified in the Community Wishlist Survey by organizing Wishathons.

Before this, I was part of the Technical Engagement team, contributing to learning and knowledge-sharing initiatives focused on technical outreach, community, and capacity building. My role occasionally involved developing sample code to demonstrate best practices, creating tutorials to explain technical concepts, and building tools to improve workflows around developer support. This team was discontinued in 2022. Some of the projects I contributed to include Outreach programs (Google Summer of Code & Outreachy), Small wiki toolkits, Hackathons, Toolhub, MediaWiki Action API docs and Tech swag program.
