About Me

I'm open to experience different things, different cultures meeting different people. I work in Pune, India as a project coordinator and researcher for an initiative called 'Open Water Data' which seeks to empower people with data for local water governance in India.
See this: https://datameet-pune.github.io/open-water-data/
and this: https://water-data-web-app.appspot.com/

Besides this, also love trekking, biking, rock climbing, being in natural surroundings. Big science geek, love anything to do with physics and space stuff :)
