I have been a Wikimedian since September 2022, and have significantly contributed on Wikipedia. I was responsible for supporting with logistics for DCW's first Train a Wikipedian program. I have presented on issues like Handling Vandalism on Wikipedia and Cognitive Skills, that could be gained through the open knowledge ecosystem. Over the years, I have made more than 18 thousand edits on Wikimedia projects. I am also a member of Wiki Club Jamia.
