I am a dedicated Library and Information Science professional and independent researcher with over 2.5 years of experience in academic and research libraries. Currently, I am working as a Professional Assistant at Chanakya University Knowledge Centre, where I handle institutional repository management software, e-resource services, plagiarism detection, and usage analytics.

I have prior experience at the JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc, Bengaluru, where I contributed to research repositories, bibliometric analysis, and digital library platforms such as DSpace, EPrints, and IRINS. My work also involved supporting accreditation processes and implementing modern library technologies like RFID systems.

Academically, I hold an MLISc. from the University of Mysore and have qualified both UGC-NET (PhD) and KSET, making me eligible for Assistant Professor and Assistant Librarian positions. I possess strong skills in cataloguing (MARC21, Dublin Core & RDA), library automation (KOHA), Digital library software (DSpace, Eprints) and Remote Access Software (MyLOFT, Shiboleth).

I am also actively engaged in research, with publications and ongoing studies in areas such as information behaviour, digital repositories, and AI applications in library science.
