👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Ling is a founder and software engineer with nine years of experience building education technology that applies learning science to classroom practice. He created Podsie, a free K-12 tool that helps teachers and students retain learning through personalized review, and now leads its innovation work within Teaching Lab. Before founding Podsie he taught middle school math (raising passing rates from 41% to 92%), ran content teams, and taught software engineering at App Academy—bridging pedagogy and product. With an MA from Stanford GSE and a BBA from UT Austin, he combines data-driven instructional design with hands-on engineering to build teacher-friendly tools that scale. A detail that often surprises collaborators: he moves fluidly between classroom coaching and shipping product features, which helps prioritize teacher workflows and adoption.
