Speckbit | 2016-20
I first started working on Speckbit in 2015. Speckbit is a collaborative personal learning management tool for self-learners & educators. The goal was to build transformative tools for learning.

- Invented a new technique of Instruction Design inspired by a blended learning model that led to an increase in student's rate of learning by a factor of 3.
Science Panorama | 2012-14
Started out as a blog, eventually turning into a startup. We started Science Panorama when we realized that there are lots of things that are broken in the current system. Science is alienating for a few and intimidating to a lot more. Maybe your teacher sucks. Or if you’re lucky enough, you know how wonderful it is. Science Panorama was a community on the internet for everyone to be a part of and enjoy the joy of learning science.
- Built a community of over 60 thousand subscribers with a small team of 3 members, overseeing content strategy, community engagement, and business development.
- Published a free online science magazine with a team of independent writers. Contributors to the magazine included renowned physicists and scientists.
