Who dis?

Hi, I'm Krishaan. I'm studying Law @Birkbeck University in London. This page is a compressed map of my skill stack, past projects, learning interests, and current curiosities.

Things I Can Do For You:

I enjoy wearing many hats and jump across functionalities to make things happen. I'd consider myself to be a mission-driven generalist. To keep things simple, here are the functions I can serve for your organisation:

(1) Research, Sensemaking, Mapping, Figuring Things Out, Finding People

• I've done research for the Charter City Institute and received a grant/fellowship from Emergent Ventures to explore the topics of megaprojects and capital allocation.
• My current learning interests are best tracked via my reading flow, tweet flow and bookmark flow. They include topics like information infrastructures, megaproject management, tech economics, tech theory, financial analysis, and more. Obviously, my main learning gig right now is learning about the law at uni.

(2) Product Design, Strategy, Customer Development:

• I'm currently working with a team led by Dhrumil Shah, funded by Roam Research, on exploring the design space and building prototypes related to augmenting collective intelligence.

• I have run customer development and business model design processes for concept projects like [rabbithole.capital ](https://krishaan.notion.site/rabbithole-capital-a8a09e82fecc4eaab8de2924e05cf91e)- as well as building the UX flow for a Notion Hosting platform concept.

• I've written UX design breakdowns - and product proposition memos. My favourite deep dive was on Golden. Below are two pieces I wrote on the product:

(3) Community Building:

I've been collecting fragmented theses on the design space of community experiences here., run experiments like Great Thoughts Friday, hosted co-learning groups on topics like charter cities, and managed political campaign events.

(4) Operations & Tool Building

During the 2019 election in Gibraltar, I led efforts to build a knowledge base for policy, coordinated outreach, built a CRM, and contributed to the high level strategy for Together Gibraltar. This entailed building playbooks and systems, as well as tying various tools together to embody and operationalise the strategy we put forth.

(5) Schlep Curious, High Energy, and High Initiative:

The final skill is somewhat softer, but I believe it is the most important. I'm 20 years old, my main advantage is my energy and naivety. I'm willing to dig into alien problems, acquire required skills via detours, and do what it takes to accomplish a given goal. I'm schlep curious 🙂
