Bio

​Bridging the gap between empirical financial research and hands-on digital infrastructure.

​Inaugural Research Assistant and final-year Finance undergraduate at Army IBA (affiliated with BUP). My research focuses on financial inclusion, algorithmic credit scoring, and state-level financial cybersecurity.
​My peer-reviewed work is published with Springer Nature (Atlantis Press), alongside presentations at multiple international conferences exploring AI-driven microfinance, equity market volatility, and digital sovereignty.

​Beyond data and theory, I build the practical tools that bring research to life. In my research roles, I have developed open data platforms and automated survey workflows for national grant projects funded by the National Academy for Planning and Development (NAPD, Ministry of Public Administration) and academic research centers, deploying full-stack web solutions using Next.js, React, and data pipelines.

​Co-founder at the Centre for Fintech and Strategic Business Research (CFSBR) | Global Nominee, NASA Space Apps Challenge 2025.
