  • Jul 2017 - Present

  Exercism is an education and mentoring platform for software developers. By applying learning theory and research around psychological safety, I reconceived how Exercism worked, bringing structure and usability to the platform and increasing our key metric of 'number of students mentored' from 3.5% to 64%. The extra clarity around the product also increased our conversion rate from 17% to 48%. I am now an advisor to Exercism, acting as a sounding board for product decisions, and helping ensure that the product remains educationally-sound. Show less

My role quickly evolved into leading the product side of the business, applying all the knowledge I was obtaining from users and designing the product to ensure it fulfilled our members' requirements. The changes I made lead to a dramatic increase in retention, including a 600% increase in visitors returning over multiple months. Show less
