As a lifelong fan of idols and celebrities, I founded FanStation to bridge the gap between fans and their favorite stars, creating a space for fans to interact and engage with their role models in the communities they belong to.Through FanStation, I developed a successful interaction and engagement model that garnered a reach of over 5.5 million and led to a worldwide Twitter trend.FanStation received over 2,000+ 5-star ratings and achieved a spot in the "Top 50 Social Apps" after an accidental beta launch.I established fruitful partnerships with UKTA, India Conference, and HBS, and FanStation was accepted into prestigious startup programs such as FBStart, GCP for Startups, and Microsoft BizSpark. However, despite my passion for the project, I struggled to scale the platform due to the operational complexity of the multisided market and the challenge of reducing time to value.While I wasn't able to achieve the desired scale for Fan Station, I learned valuable lessons about the intricacies of operating a multisided market and the importance of streamlining operations to reduce time to value.My experience at Fan Station has given me a deep understanding of the challenges inherent in connecting fans and celebrities and has prepared me to tackle similar projects in the future with greater efficiency and effectiveness.

During my internship I had the opportunity to contribute to the development of a valuable tool for Apxor mAPM, an app performance monitoring solution. Specifically, I played a key role in the creation of an iOS application crawler called "Drunken Monkey." This tool enables monkey testing of iOS apps, which is an automated testing process that randomly generates user interactions with the app to identify bugs and issues.The automation of testing processes through the Drunken Monkey tool saved Apxor mAPM time and money that would have been spent manually testing apps for bugs and issuesIn addition to my work on the Drunken Monkey tool, I also built an app store scraper that pulled information from the iOS app store to analyze the problems that users face. This tool helped to identify key pain points and areas for improvement, allowing team to understand issues that accounted for lower store ratings.Through these projects, I gained valuable experience in development, app testing and analysis, and data-driven decision-making. I am proud to have played a key role in the development of tools that help organizations to deliver high-quality apps to their customers.
