"Beyond our division, Don has pointed out some ways bias negatively impacts our candidates. He also designed an interview for a Data Science candidate that we interviewed. I'm so glad to have him on the team and I look forward to seeing his continued success."
Moriko Handford
Experienced Engineering Leader
"Don was extremely helpful in every area. He was very knowledgeable in the field and the industry overall, and he was able to communicate everything in an easy to understand way. He was very quick to respond and checked in several times to see if he could help in any way. Thanks Don!"

About
I'm a Product Manager in Chicago with 9 years in software engineering. I build products end-to-end—from discovery and strategy through technical execution and launch.
I run a technical consultancy (BSTX Labs), built a SaaS platform from scratch (InsightQR), and teach tai chi—which has taught me more about patience and iteration than any PM course ever could.
