I'm a full-time psychology SME consultant and I work part-time with Myelin, an EdTech company. I'm also currently an overtime impostor in the AI industry. I'm attempting (mostly failing) to solve AI's contextual awareness problem from the cognitive perspective. I've studied at NIMHANS Bangalore (positive psychology), Savitribai Phule Pune University (clinical psychology), Fergusson College (BA psych), and affiliated with IIM Ahmedabad (marketing psychology). I'm based in Pune, India. Love Sci-fi, horror media; Love rock, metal, synthwave, and K-pop music; can't whistle; can play 2 guitars at a time.
