I'm a product manager at The Baltimore Banner and a graduate of Columbia's Lede Program for data journalism. Previously, I researched computational journalism at MIT and studied computer science at BITS Pilani. I write data stories on technology, politics and cities, and speak three human and five beep-boop languages. 👾
