I'm an Information Management Officer and developer with over 10 years of experience designing and managing data systems in humanitarian contexts. My work spans database management, data collection, analysis, visualization, and the coordination infrastructure that keeps multi-partner responses accountable.

I've worked with UNHCR in Türkiye and Bangladesh, with IOM across Nepal and Bangladesh, and with the IFRC during Nepal's post-earthquake recovery. Across these contexts, I've built 5W reporting tools, protection monitoring systems, interactive dashboards, automated workflows, and assessment frameworks — systems that translate field data into decisions.

Currently based in Kathmandu, Nepal, and available for information management, data advisory, and consulting engagements.

Over 10 years of information management experience across humanitarian and development contexts. Served as Associate Information Management Officer with UNHCR across two major operations — supporting protection cluster coordination and IM systems in one context, and protection data management and multi-partner reporting in another.

With IOM, worked as Information Management Officer for the Shelter/NFI Sector, leading partner reporting, assessment design, and gap analysis. Earlier contributed to Nepal's post-earthquake response and reconstruction as Senior Information Management Officer with HRRP, establishing data systems for the National Reconstruction Authority and building capacity across government counterparts. Also served with the IFRC-led Shelter Cluster during Nepal's 2015 earthquake emergency, developing ETL tools and mobile data collection systems from the ground up.

Career began in software development as a Java Developer, providing the technical foundation that has shaped all subsequent IM work.
