International Politics Graduate • Data Enthusiast

About Me

Hi, I'm Vimal! I'm an International Politics graduate with a passion for data-driven research and transparency. My work focuses on tracking censorship patterns, analysing political trends, and exploring how information flows (or is restricted) across different political systems.

I believe in the power of data to illuminate important stories about press freedom, government transparency, and democratic accountability. Through my research and projects, I aim to make complex political dynamics more accessible and understandable.

My interests span across:

Data Visualisation International Politics Financial Data Analytics Historical Research Policy Analysis

Frequently Asked Questions

What's your background in International Politics?
I hold a degree in International Politics where I developed a deep understanding of global political systems, diplomatic relations, and policy analysis. My academic focus included contemporary geopolitical issues, international law, and comparative government systems.
How do you combine politics with data visualisation?
I believe data tells powerful stories about political trends, voting patterns, and policy impacts. I use visualisation tools to make complex political data accessible and engaging, helping people understand everything from election results to policy effectiveness.
What type of roles are you looking for?
I'm interested in positions that blend analytical thinking with political insight - whether that's in policy research, data analysis for government or NGOs, political consulting, or roles that involve researching and presenting complex information in accessible ways.
What makes you passionate about history?
History provides the context for understanding today's political landscape. I'm fascinated by how historical events shape current policies and international relations. It's like having a roadmap for understanding why the world works the way it does.
