Projects & Initiatives

Casharoo is a gamified financial-literacy platform designed to make core financial concepts interactive, measurable, and accessible to students. I co-founded Casharoo to move financial education beyond static instruction and into systems students actively engage with.

I lead business strategy and growth, contributing across product direction, outreach, and iteration. My work includes designing lesson structures, engagement mechanics, dashboards, and platform features to support sustained classroom adoption.

Casharoo serves 1,000+ total users, with 400+ daily active users, and is implemented in five schools, with additional schools onboarding. The platform supports 12 languages and is used globally, enabling scalable adoption across diverse educational settings. The emphasis is on building practical financial habits through structured, data-driven systems.
