Selected Works
AI Grading Summaries for Students & Teachers
ShippedProblem: Teacher feedback pointed to too much time being spent manually reviewing and summarizing student answers.
Goal: Use AI to generate quick, accurate summaries of student performance for teachers.
Result: Teachers reported spending noticeably less time writing summaries by hand, since they could start from a generated draft instead.
AI-Powered Library for Teachers
ShippedProblem: Teachers reported difficulty finding relevant content quickly within a growing content library.
Goal: Use AI to recommend content aligned with what a teacher is currently teaching.
Result: Early usage showed teachers returning to the recommended content section repeatedly rather than searching from scratch. Several teachers specifically called out saving time on lesson prep as the main benefit.
AI Next Steps for Students
ShippedProblem: A recurring student question was simply: what should I work on next?
Goal: Recommend next steps tailored to each student's specific weaknesses and recent performance, not just generic content.
Result: Both students and teachers noticed improvement, since students finally knew what to work on based on their actual weaknesses instead of guessing.
Other Projects/Features
Multi-platform design system
Extended the shared design system to stay consistent across web and mobile, so components didn't drift as new surfaces were added.
Student portal revamp
Refreshed the student-facing portal to match the newer design language and improve day-to-day usability.
Instructor portal upgrades
Rolled out usability and workflow improvements to the instructor-facing portal based on ongoing feedback.
Gamifications
Introduced game-like elements across the student experience to make learning feel less like a chore and more engaging day to day. The last time I measured it, average time spent on the platform moved from about 7 minutes to 11 minutes per session.
Admin and Teacher exercise creation
Built tools for admins and teachers to create and manage exercises directly in the platform, instead of relying on outside documents.
Reports for different users
Built tailored reporting views per user type, surfacing the metrics most relevant to students, teachers, and admins respectively.
