Harvard Public Health Review
Tell me about your work with Harvard Public Health Review.
I co-authored peer-reviewed articles in the Harvard Public Health Review and the Annals of Global Health on COVID-19 vaccination and behavioral compliance. This was academic research — proper peer review, citation discipline, data-driven argumentation. Completely different context from Web3 but drew on the same core skill set. I also completed the Computational Neuroscience track at Neuromatch Academy where I worked with the Human Connectome Project dataset using Python and ML libraries, so I have actual technical research chops beyond just marketing.
How does this connect to your Web3 work?
More than you'd think. The ability to take a complicated, multi-stakeholder topic and distill it into a clear, evidence-backed narrative is exactly what I do when positioning a protocol for TGE or crafting a growth strategy deck. Most marketing in crypto is vibes-driven — my background in academic research means I bring a structural rigor to narrative building. When I'm mapping out a protocol's competitive positioning or writing a grants proposal, I'm using the same analytical framework I used in academic publishing. On top of that, I was a Sir Syed Global Scholarship Awardee (selected from 293 global candidates) and National Debating Champion of India — so the ability to construct and defend arguments under pressure has been trained into me across very different contexts. It shows range — I can operate in completely different domains and adapt my communication to whatever audience I'm writing for.
