Experience

1. Software Engineer and Team Coordinator

   Accountability Lab

   Apr 2023 — Present · Kathmandu, NP

   HackCorruption is an Accountability Lab initiative that aims to combat corruption globally by stimulating the innovative use of technology to address accountability gaps and build systemic integrity. With our partners, Development Gateway and the Center for Private Enterprise, we work with diverse stakeholders to develop, track, refine and apply new and existing technological solutions to systemic challenges of corruption. We have found that the largest gaps within this ecosystem are at the meso-level, among smaller and medium-sized businesses, small CSOs and local governments who may not have the resources, in-house skills or pathways to develop technologies that can support them to address anti-corruption issues. They also don’t have the capacity to offset corruption risks.HackCorruption brings together motivated individuals from the civic tech, CSO, and activist arenas, to build these innovative solutions to combat corruption. The program starts with the selection and orientation of diverse regional teams from the targeted countries. These teams then develop early prototypes of their solutions and pitch them to a panel of judges. The teams with selected solutions participate in a bootcamp and receive to support the development and launch of their solution. Through the design, development, and launch of solutions, teams also receive ongoing support and are linked with a network of others working in the same space.
