About Mala
For the rest of 2023, I am:
- Searching for my next permanent, full-time job in the private sector
- Doing some light advising work for the ITU and other organizations listed here
- Finishing a few key milestones ahead of my second novel - What it Meant to Survive - publication in October 2024
- Taking a break!
I was previously a Senior Advisor at the World Health Organization, where I supported the Open Source Programme Office that I helped launch while I was the Director of Tech for Social Good on the GitHub Social Impact team. Previous to joining GitHub in April 2019, I worked in tech for international development (ICT4D) as a UX researcher and designer, mostly for the United Nations.
