# Rohit Malekar. [[Writings]] | [[Portfolio]] | [Code](https://github.com/rohitmalekar) | [Poetry](http://breathefeellove.in/) | [[Cycling]] | [[Notes]] | [[About]] I help build cryptonative commons and digital public goods to create a more equitable future. Through data tools, storytelling, research, and strategy, I generate insights that enhance funding impact and make public goods more accessible. At Open Source Observer, I focus on driving adoption of open public datasets to help funders and grant programs measure and visualize their impact.
