During my tenure, I focused on various platforms, ensuring all team members were onboarded and proficient in their use. This involved setting up tools and training sessions to maximize platform utilization. Collaborating closely with all departments, I ensured an integrated and effective educational experience. I developed mastery-based assessments and actively contributed to the continuous improvement of curriculum content. One of the significant projects I worked on was the Gen AI project (Interview Prime), which involved creating an AI Interviewer SaaS product for live interview preparation and candidate vetting. In the initial stages, I conducted over 6000 interviews, significantly reducing the cost of interviews. Additionally, I created structured revision processes to help students bridge knowledge gaps and connect all the topics they had learned. Leading the outcomes team, I revamped curricula, streamlined processes, and designed new approaches aligned with industry standards.
