I began my career as an IT Assistant to the Joint Collector during the 1998 Parliament elections in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh. Subsequently, I diversified my experience by contributing as a 3D Animation artist and background musician for a local television network. Transitioning into education and software development, I served as a Software Developer and Physical Science Teacher at Sri Rama Rural Academy, concurrently holding the role of Project Manager at a local NGO (AIRTDS). These experiences laid a solid foundation for my academic pursuits, culminating in the completion of my Master of Computer Applications. After joining Alliance as Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, I furthered my academic journey and completed a second post-graduation in Master of Social Work, enhancing my skills in community engagement and social development. My tenure at Alliance also provided invaluable experience working on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Avahan Project, contributing to public health initiatives and project management.
