2026–present
Leadership and implementation
International Rescue Committee
Director, Strategic Initiatives · London
I work across Operations and External Relations, building and leading strategic initiatives at the intersection of innovation, AI, and organisational transformation. My work spans developing new AI-enabled ways of working, building new capabilities and partnerships, and shaping IRC’s strategy with donors, policymakers, and partners.
2020–2025
Strategy, management, and leadership
McKinsey & Company
Senior Engagement Manager
I focused on strategy, management, and leadership at the intersection of AI, technology, and global development. I built and scaled digital public goods and organisations, including DISHA, and worked with industry leaders and public-sector partners to develop AI strategies, ecosystems, and solutions.
2020
The research foundation
University of Cambridge
PhD, Computer Science · Gates Cambridge Scholar
My PhD focused on developing new machine learning architectures using graph neural networks and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to model mobility patterns, working with Prof. Cecilia Mascolo.
2019 & 2020
AI for science
Frontier Development Lab (NASA)
Research Scientist · Mountain View
Over two summers, I worked with NASA's Frontier Development Lab, building generative machine learning models to simulate medical conditions that could affect astronauts.
2018
Data science for public decision-making
Pulse Lab Jakarta
Research Scientist · UN Global Pulse Asia Pacific · Jakarta
The Pulse Lab Jakarta (now referred to as the United Nations Global Pulse Asia Pacific) is an innovation lab formed within the UN to harness data science insights to support data-driven decision making across the public and social sector. I built machine learning models following natural disasters in Vanuatu that supported the country's disaster response work.
2015 & 2016

2012
Biomedical research
Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Researcher
I spent the summer on the Bioinformatics Platform at the Broad as an intern, working under Josh Bittker. My team built BARD (BioAssay Research Database), a cross-center effort to organize chemical bioactivity data and give researchers better tools for drug discovery. I worked on annotating chemicals with their biological activities.
Engineering foundation
University of Washington
Computer Engineering and Bioengineering
Across my time at UW I worked in several research labs over five years — first in Prosthetics and Orthotics under Joan Sanders, building tools to improve prosthetic socket fit and publishing my own research on sock thickness. I later joined the Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) Lab under Gaetano Borriello, building mobile applications for low-cost, paper-based diagnosis of infectious diseases. Lastly, I worked in the Molecular Information Systems Lab (MISL) under Luis Ceze, building machine learning models to catch patterns in DNA sequencing errors — my first real dive into using biology as a storage medium.
