Independent AI Ethics Researcher and Responsible AI Evaluator based in Kolkata, India. I contribute as a Subject Matter Expert to ARAI's Responsible AI certification frameworks (Governance, Ethics, Safety), and evaluate LLM outputs for fairness, safety, and reasoning quality across platforms including Snorkel AI, Pareto.AI and Labelbox. My published research (SSRN, RePEc, Zenodo) examines AI's labor and economic implications. Background in Economics, journalism, and public policy writing (Modern Diplomacy, Fair Observer, Green Network Asia).

Connecting me with people working directly in AI safety/alignment research, especially those who can help me understand how applied AI governance work (certification frameworks, evaluation rubrics) connects to longer-term AI risk. Also open to feedback on an upcoming paper on agentic AI governance (submitting to Cambridge Forum on AI: Law and Governance), and pointers to India-based AI safety/EA community activity.

Practical AI evaluation and governance framework expertise, hands-on experience building rubrics for fairness, safety, and reasoning-quality assessment in LLMs. Also can help translate technical AI governance and policy concepts into accessible writing, useful for public communication, reports, or outreach content.
