Creative Portfolio
Social Media & Live Event Producer • Bengaluru, India
I run the Instagram, ticketing, website, and blog for Improv Lore, an improv troupe based in Bengaluru. We've organised two 12-hour improv marathons, produced 100+ shows and workshops, and toured three festivals abroad. By day I'm a software engineer, so I build and automate our own event and ticketing infrastructure.

Engineering & Tooling Edge
Before focusing on community and event growth, I worked as a software engineer at Société Générale. Because of that background, our community doesn't depend on external developers:
- Built improvlore.com in Eleventy on Cloudflare (3,000+ unique visitors in six months).
- Maintain weekly show recaps and community articles on the Improv Lore Blog.
- Automate ticketing workflows, attendee spreadsheets, and registration reconciliations across payment gateways.
