Built while I was studying

I started UniCheatSheet as a UPES student in 2024 and kept shaping it around problems my classmates actually had. I run it end to end.

  • ProductDesigning the experience around how students actually study.
  • EngineeringBuilding the whole web product myself, from the pages students see to the systems behind them.
  • GrowthExperimenting with Instagram, Meta ads, WhatsApp sharing and free tools.

Why it exists

UniCheatSheet started as something I wanted for myself as a student. It grew into one place where students organise their studying and find their exam information.
