 #### Lead Technologist | Connected Learning Initiative (CLIx)			    		      Jan 2017- May 2022
-Spearheaded design experiments to develop large scale enterprise EdTech solutions in resource constrained contexts in collaboration with Prof. Nagarjuna’s Gnowledge Lab, HBCSE-TIFR, Mumbai and MIT Open Learning team under the leadership of Profs. Padma Sarangapani (TISS), Eric Klopfer and M.S. Vijay Kumar (MIT, Boston). 
-Led the technology team through design, development and deployment of a next generation learning platform - https://clixplatform.tiss.edu - in 500+ schools across India. I was responsible for two iterations of the software development life cycle (SDLC) using a design-based research approach. CLIx Platform is powered by gstudio NDF architecture developed by Nagarjuna and has been designed like a Lego board to create a DOER (distributed decentralized offline open educational resources) or internet-in-a-box through a mashup of FOSS applications.
-Led the technology team through the third SDLC, collaborated with various content teams and ensured compliance to open license mechanisms to launch the CLIx Open Educational Resources website (see https://clixoer.tiss.edu ) in Dec 2019 which remains one of the most visited educational websites of TISS.
-The innovative EdTech solutions played a pivotal role in winning two prestigious global recognitions for the project: UNESCO King Hamad Prize 2017 for the Innovative Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the field of Education and OER Collaboration Award for Excellence 2019 by Open Education Consortium. I was a significant co-author for both the award applications.
-Devised and established an end-to-end data workflow to capture, batch process, retrieve, and sync learning platform data from 500+ schools including those in remote areas to central server using django-python framework web apps, APIs, python and shell scripts, syncthing and docker technologies. Further, steered the team to process, automate,analyze and visualize learning platform data using R, Python and D3.js (see https://clixdashboard.tiss.edu and https://gstudio-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
-Collaborated with research teams at TISS and MIT to gather, process and analyze learning platform data from 300+ schools (stored as PostgreSQL, JSON and mongoDB databases) which contributed to project research report: Making EdTech Work for Secondary School Students & their Teachers: A Report of Research Findings from CLIx Phase I.
