Work Experience Summary

/

I am originally from Kozhikode and based in Chengdu, where I work as a digital strategist by day and hobbyist music producer by night.

Over the past ten years, I have gained much experience in content creation, communication, and digital marketing.

I am fortunate to have had my music featured in prominent industry publications such as Rolling Stone and Rock Street Journal. I have also produced the Kaav & Marupiravi EP for Palakkadan Dystopia (Street Academics). In addition to my musical pursuits, my expat guide to Chengdu is a popular resource and ranks highly on Google.

I enjoy tinkering, learning about new technologies, and using Python to create automation projects when I’m not at work. Moreover, I’m an early adopter of Open AI’s API services.
