About

A holistic engineer (WIP) focused on building quality products. I like to imagine the modern software engineer as someone who takes ownership of not just the technical process right from the PRD to deliver quality output (design + architecture + code), but also ensures attainability of the favoured outcome (metrics, product impact). I strive to become that person everyday.

Quizizz is an EdTech platform with ∼70M MAUs helping teachers make education fun and engaging for students
Quizizz AI
∗ Driving the creation of a system that generates tailored hints and answer explanations based on the subject,
grade level, and Bloom’s taxonomy level of each question. This initiative is part of the broader Student AI
realm, aimed at enhancing learning outcomes during gameplay.
∗ Drove efforts around support and creation of a new activity type called Interactive Video - pick up any
YouTube video with a transcript (or create one from its audio) and generate timestamped questions via AI.
Populated a supply of 60k such activities based on publicly available educational YouTube videos.
∗ Engineered a system that recommends relevant questions from the Quizizz library to teachers based on the
topic and subtopics of existing quiz questions. Utilized AI to infer question topics and subtopics, embedding
them in a vector database for efficient similarity matching, enhancing quiz creation through smart,
context-aware suggestions.
∗ Owned the development of a feature allowing teachers to create comprehension passages with audio, its
associated questions, and word lists via AI. The generated activities would also be tailored by genre, sub-genre,
and lexile level for optimized student learning.
Successfully oversaw and executed several development efforts around addition of new premium question types, extra life and partial scoring mechanism in games, auto conversion of question types from one type to another (eg. MCQ to DRAG AND DROP) - this directly resulted in a ∼20% increase in the adoption of new question types by paid users in addition to significantly increasing our premium conversion funnel
Spearheaded end to end development of Quiz Service (serving ∼90K RPM during peak hours) - a new microservice tasked with housing all the APIs and data related to content lifecycle - creation/deletion of quizzes/questions, with monitoring and alerting included
