Africa's Learning Platform
Joined as a founding product team member to build Africa's first comprehensive learning application, contributing to raising $3.5M in pre-seed funding.
African students lacked access to quality educational resources and personalized learning experiences. Traditional education systems couldn't scale to meet the growing demand for accessible, affordable education.
Developed a comprehensive learning platform with personalized learning paths, interactive content, and AI-powered recommendations. Built features for live classes, practice tests, and progress tracking.
