Hey there, I'm Kyle

Spec to launch. Five products. Lean teams, big shipments.

I'm a product manager who's spent years leading in-house and offshore engineering teams. Today I'm passionate about educating other PM's on agentic workflows and shipping products at the speed of much larger teams.

/ ABOUT

I have been a teacher, a founder, and a consultant. Now I lead product at Weeknd, where I took a two-sided sponsorship marketplace from concept to production.

I write the spec, review the code, and talk to the users. Claude Code builds and Codex reviews, so a small team ships like a big one.

/ REACH OUT

I'm looking for a product manager role at a Bay Area tech company. If you're hiring, I'd like to hear what you're building.
