Worked closed with the design team and gave feedback on design mockups and clarified blockers for the engg team to build out the features. - Conceptualized, designed and delivered cohort-based courses on Data Science, Deep Learning and Frontend Web Development. For learners looking for a job change, we had placement ratio ~88%. - During the pandemic crisis, I helped evolve a new course delivery model that helped us offer programs at a lower cost and keep the revenue flowing. (From 0 revenue, we were able to grow to 60% of pre-pandemic monthly revenue.) - Helped evolve selection, evaluation and competency frameworks for Income Share Agreement programs (ISA) programs. This helped in choosing the right learners and handpick them for jobs. This enabled us to go into Tier 3 cities and enable freshers to get ~6-7 LPA packages. - Designed and deployed self-paced courses that are consumed by around 50,000+ learners. Helped acquire learners and deliver our programs internationally (in Canada). - Helped setup the basic analytics dashboard for tracking learner outcomes. - Evolved the product roadmap for an inhouse LMS - Glabs that has ~50k users which hosts the curriculum and content. Worked closely with the tech team to prioritize features from the learner point of view along with furnishing the detailed requirements.

  (Currently paused. Not graduated yet) I was working towards a PhD in Natural Language Processing and Memory based reasoning in Artificial Intelligence. The main focus of the research is trying to answer the question - Can we improve the efficiency of the task if we are complexity aware instead of complexity agnostic? Have published papers in International Conference in Case Based Reasoning (ICCBR) and FLAIRS based on the work. (Currently paused.
