About

Hi— I’m Louis. I’m passionate about building tools that support education.

I’m currently a product manager at McGraw Hill Higher Education where I lead AI projects such as AI Reader, a generative AI tool that helps learners understand concepts and promotes active reading.

Previously, as an education strategy consultant at Tyton Partners, I advised executives on the edtech market with a focus in AI and adaptive learning. I also worked on research-focused projects like Time for Class: a multi-year study for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, exploring the role of adaptive learning tools in higher education.

Outside of work, I volunteer with the Friends of the Cambridge Community Learning Center to provide scholarships to adult learners pursuing higher education. I’m always eager to talk with others who are passionate about education, AI, and digital learning tools.

Projects & features

  • SmartCoach AI Sales Coach — released March 2025, side project; we made an AI sales coaching tool built right into Slack, and we piloted it with a salesperson at a car dealership. It was lots of fun hacking it together, but I learned that I wasn’t super passionate about sales training.

  • Sonar Education AI Podcasts — released September 2024, side project; built a tool that generates AI educational podcasts that are made to be assigned. Right after we “launched,” Google announced their [much much better] version, and we laughed and decided to move on.

  • McGraw Hill AI Reader — released August 2024, lead product manager: >100K students across the country have used AI Reader >1M times. I showed up to MH with a lot of excitement and this idea became a labor of love— I got it funded, and led every piece of it from design to engineering to GTM, caring an [irrational] amount about it going well. I’m very proud of the work we did and the impact we made on students who use it everyday.
