Family Business - Education, Edtech

2017 - Present (Still working here now and then)

Product, Engineer, Marketing, Growth and everything in between

Our first family venture, starting at the age of 12, I was first involved in marketing making graphic designs, giving flyers and emailing before moving into product development and market fit testing as I and the company grew.

I took on broader responsibilities across product, operations and customer success. This was a a vital experience where I learned first hand how innovation, execution and customer centric design drive business success.

Through all the ups and downs that happened, we are still running strong til date and have impacted over 5000 customers.
