Journey

My path to Product Management bridges diverse worlds: from implementing drone programs in government to building AI digital twins and pivoting into an amazing startup PM internship at Skydio. I've coded AI applications from scratch despite my non-technical background, studied technology's impact on communities, and created learning environments like "Coding with Kyle" to make technical skills more accessible.

This unique journey has equipped me to build products that balance technical innovation with human needs. As I transition to a full-time PM role, I bring both the technical understanding to work effectively with engineering teams and the empathy needed to create solutions that users genuinely value and trust.
