About Adrián
- I’m originally from Argentina but my family moved around a lot when I was young—we moved from Argentina to Venezuela to Brazil and finally to the U.S.
- I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo.
- After graduating, I started my career as a software engineer.
- I decided to use my skills as an engineer to impact education and started by co-founding Education Portal, a platform that helps students with college prep and career planning.
- In 2015, I co-founded Study.com, an online learning platform with a mission to make education more accessible—I currently lead the company as CEO.
