About Ed

I'm a first-generation American and I'm grateful for my parents working as hard as they did to provide me with a solid foundation in life. However there was a lot they didn't know and weren't able to help out with. Like navigating the modern career and corporate world. As a result I had to figure that out on my own. My career path has been anything but linear. I taught myself to code, pursued an education path towards law, and took a number of different roles along my journey leading me to where I am today. There are even a few businesses I started along the way. I wasn't happy with a path I had chosen so I decided to explore a different one. When I started in the tech space, it was as a software engineer. I was intimidated since everyone around me had a Masters-level degree in some kind of relevant field and I was self-taught. I turned that into an advantage since I had the skills to keep learning and develop a brand of my own. But coding felt limiting for me since I wanted to be able to have a input in the what we're building. Product management helped enable me to do just that. 10 years later and multiple successful products later, I want to help others find their path as well.
