Tyut is an academic platform I founded with my team to bridge the gap between students and quality tutoring. The goal was simple but urgent: move away from rote memorization and toward concept-driven learning. TYUT connects learners with subject-matter experts for personalized sessions that prioritize understanding over cramming.

I led the end-to-end product development process from strategy to build:


  • User Research & UX Strategy
    Conducted interviews and surveys to uncover core learning pain points and barriers to access. Designed user flows that emphasized clarity, speed of connection, and learner confidence.


  • UI & Visual Design
    Crafted an interface that’s clean, calming, and inviting optimized for both students and educators across mobile platforms.


  • App Development (MVP)
    Built the MVP using Java & Firebase to support cross-platform compatibility, real-time availability, and scalability.


  • Brand & Product Vision
    Defined Tyut's identity in the EdTech space — as a mission-driven, accessible platform focused on depth, not just delivery.

Tyut reflects my ability to identify a systemic challenge, synthesize user needs, and ship a functional, scalable solution from the ground up.
