About Me

Hello there, thanks for exploring my site! Please feel to reach out now you know a little bit about me than I do about you. Would love to say hi!

I have varied interests in many fields– leadership, education, faith, Bible, business, Astronomy. I enjoy developing things that makes peoples' lives a bit (I aim for a lot) better. I enjoy my work, and glad that I get to use AI in creating tools that helps people/businesses.

I have worked on developing diagnostic tools during COVID-19 which led me to my current work at Wellchecked creating safety systems for industrial workers. It gives me joy to see people use what I have worked on. I believe in community, I've learned that the most meaningful impact often happens when technology is used as a tool to better the community, more so in this isolated world.

I enjoy spending time building relationships especially with international students and exploring ideas through thinking, writing or discussing. I love to invest in the lives of kids to make wonderful citizens and leaders. God blessed me with many things and my aim in life is to share the biggest blessing Jesus and other blessings with as many as I could!

Ministry & Community

Since I was a kid I had involved in ministry in some form. My devout Hindu grandfather came to know Christ when he was young through a miraculous healing in his body. All his devotion turned then to Lord Jesus and started following Him and gave his life to serve Him and people. Growing up with him, it became part of my life to help people and involved in ministry at some capacity. These days my work in ministry focuses on creating spaces where international students can find belonging and local communities can experience the richness of global perspectives.

ISM at The Quah

God has helped me build a team for International Student Ministry at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah. Together, we create spaces where international students can find belonging and build relationships with local communities.

Teach India

Through Seva Bharat's Teach India initiative, I provided free tuition to school students, supporting children with their studies and helping make learning more accessible.

Children's Bible Club

I started Children's Bible Club (CBC) through Seva Bharat, a VBS-style program open to every child. Begun more than a decade ago and still continuing, CBC brings children together for three to five full-day programs during school breaks with Bible stories, interactive learning, crafts, songs, and character-building.

ICAT

I teach Sunday school and sometimes lead worship at ICAT. I enjoy serving and growing with the church community.
