Mathematics Educator · Wikimedia Contributor · Community Organiser

Hello!

I am a mathematics educator, Wikimedia contributor, and community organiser from India.

My interests lie at the intersection of education, mathematics, open knowledge, Wikimedia projects, community building, and outreach. Through my Wikimedia activities, I enjoy contributing to free and accessible knowledge and creating spaces where people can learn, collaborate, and contribute.

I believe that making knowledge open and easy to contribute to makes it more meaningful and accessible to everyone.

My Wikimedia journey

[edit]

My Wikimedia journey began in 2024, when I joined Deoband Community Wikimedia as a volunteer. I later served as the Conversation Hour Lead for the DCW Conversation Hour programme for a year.

From March 2025 to March 2026, I served as a Board Member of Deoband Community Wikimedia.

I also served as the Trust and Safety Manager for the Train a Wikipedian programme.

My Wikimedia interests include knowledge sharing, education and internationalisation.

Wikimedia roles

[edit]

Currently, I serve as an Advisory Member at Wiki Club AMU and as a volunteer across different Wikimedia projects.

My Wikimedia roles and responsibilities have included:

Volunteer Deoband Community Wikimedia

Conversation Hour Lead DCW Conversation Hour

Board Member Deoband Community Wikimedia (March 2025 – March 2026)

Advisory Member Wiki Club AMU

Wikimedia Volunteer at various Wikimedia projects

Deoband Community Wikimedia

[edit]

Deoband Community Wikimedia has been an important part of my Wikimedia journey. Through my involvement with the community, I have had the opportunity to contribute to community development, programme coordination, outreach, and contributor engagement.

Wikimedia and education

[edit]

As a mathematics student and teacher-in-training, I am particularly interested in how Wikimedia projects can be used as educational resources and how students can become contributors rather than only consumers of information.

I am interested in exploring the connection between Wikimedia and education.

I hope to contribute to initiatives that encourage students and educators to participate actively in the Wikimedia movement.
