The Founder

Rahin Ashraf, a British Bangladeshi software engineer and data scientist, founded How2Nerd with a mission to make learning accessible, engaging, and impactful for everyone.

Rahin graduated with First Class Honours in BSc Computer Science from King’s College London (KCL) in 2023, with a degree specialisation in Software Engineering. He then went on to earn a Master’s degree in MSc Data Science in 2024, achieving a Distinction for his thesis. In 2020, he also achieved A*A*A grades in his A-levels in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Further Mathematics.

Today, Rahin founded How2Nerd to inspire others to strive for greatness and push themselves to unlock their full potential. The How2Nerd platform supports students at all levels, including KS2, KS3, GCSE, and A-levels.

"Why is the platform called How2Nerd?"

Rahin believes the term "nerd" is often misunderstood in this day and age. It is frequently used to insult those who sacrifice their time and plans to improve their education and themselves. Rahin believes education is a gift, and those who work hard to better themselves should be proud. That is exactly why the platform is named How2Nerd. Rahin aims to redefine the term "nerd" from an insult into a privilege that students strive for. The How2Nerd platform was created by Rahin to provide students with a clear roadmap to becoming a nerd.
