Freelancer Overview

Independent Strategic Advisor - Over two decades, I’ve worked across government programs, nonprofits, startups, and research institutions to design frameworks that make impact sustainable. My work lies at the intersection of people, policy, and technology, where clarity meets complexity and systems evolve with purpose. My focus has always been on building sustainable impact - whether that’s mentoring founders who went on to win national startup recognition, helping organizations secure 8-figure funding, or designing technology solutions that reached thousands of people at the grassroots. These experiences continue to shape how I design programs that are scalable, accountable, and human-centered. I explore the behavioural “grey zone” where machine/AI reasoning and human decision-making meet. Over the past year, I led an independent multi-case evaluation of five frontier LLMs and developed a behavioural architecture framework for AI safety, contextual sensitivity, and alignment- applying AI responsibly within human systems and real-world socio-political contexts. Education includes Post Graduate Diploma in Public Management and Policy, Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (2008) and Exchange Program Certificate, Carnegie Mellon University (Heinz College) (2007).
