Come poke things →Where art meets technology — interactive, curious, a little playful.
Wander in →what I do
I design learning experiences and the tools behind them — connecting classrooms to the real world, and helping millions of kids create rather than consume.
drag the slider — turn a consumer into a creator
Building a future‑ready IB programme anchored in a “field model” of project‑based learning — connecting classroom concepts to authentic community challenges while keeping strong academic preparation.
Led research and user‑insights across Wayground, VoyageMath and Wayground for Business — working with teachers and schools to design joyful, data‑informed tools used by millions of students worldwide.
Headed outreach across Asia‑Pacific & Africa and helped lead the Scratch Education Collaborative, supporting organizations bringing equitable, creative coding to underserved learners.
A playful, project‑based learning platform for kids ~5–12. Won the Highest Impact Prize at Harvard’s Innovative Ventures in Education and featured in Indian startup media for its social, gamified approach.
Explored new forms of assessment in makerspaces and project‑based environments, with research shared through large‑scale government partnerships and international conferences.
Taught in a low‑income school in Hyderabad and co‑founded “Dramebaaz,” a theatre‑based life‑skills initiative later recognized in Mumbai Heroes and on TEDx stages.

when I'm free
I tinker at the intersection of art and technology, and play odd musical instruments. Play is a verb here — so go on, poke these little fellows.

Collecting and playing unusual instruments — the stranger the sound, the better.
Makey‑Makey‑style hacks where bananas become buttons and everyday objects come alive.
From “Dramebaaz” to TEDx — play and performance as a way to learn life skills.
more playful experiments coming soon — placeholders for now ✦
art × technology
Interactive, curious work that lives where art meets technology. These are placeholders — I'll swap in real photos and documentation soon.
