About
Hey, I'm Rayhan.
I'm a Year 13 student at ICHS in London, and I built Intake. Hi 👋
When I started looking at degree apprenticeships, it was honestly a mess. Every firm has its own portal, its own dates and its own questions. Some windows are open for about two weeks. I had a spreadsheet, way too many tabs and a lot of Reddit threads.
Some people get proper careers coaching, mock interviews and someone checking their answers. Most people I know don't. That felt unfair, and it felt like something I could actually fix.
Outside school I design and build software. I co-founded Lumi, a personal AI tutor that's now got over 800 users, and I'm a Fellow at Z Fellows. I also run a small AI engineering company called Arclight on the side. Before that I had Toasted Beans, a little creative and software studio.
So Intake is the thing I wished existed. It keeps an eye on programmes for you, writes from stuff you've actually done, and lets you practise interviews out loud until they stop feeling scary. Ivy is the bit I'm proudest of.
It's just me building it right now, so it won't be perfect. If something's broken, wrong or you've got an idea, message me. I genuinely read everything.
Want a job helping me out with Lumi? Give me a ring or send me a message on WhatsApp. Tell me what you're good at.
