About Me

I am a Member Engagement Lead at UMDSAB and a Computer Consultant at the University of Michigan, where I apply my skills and passion for technology, education, and event management. I am also pursuing a Master of Science in Computer and Information Science at UMich, focusing on software engineering, data management and analytics, and systems software. Previously, I was a Lead Software Developer at Open Learning Exchange (OLE) Nepal. I led a team of six game designers and developers to create learning games for children in rural areas in collaboration with MIT Nepal Initiative. I also contributed to developing EPaath, an interactive content platform that delivered more than 200 learning modules to thousands of students. I have multiple certifications and publications related to game design, storytelling, and personal branding. My goal is to create meaningful solutions that enhance learning outcomes and experiences for diverse learners, starting January 2024.
