About Me

Welcome! I'm Carlos, a Senior Product Manager with a storied career that spans diverse roles and industries. From my early days as a team captain in sports to leading cross-functional teams in the tech sector, my journey is marked by a relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.

​

From Athlete to Innovator: My background as a sports team captain instilled in me the essence of leadership and teamwork. This foundation paved the way for my roles as a community organizer and elected officer for a university student body, where I honed my skills in strategic thinking and stakeholder engagement.

 

A Dynamic Career Path: Transitioning from sales & marketing to a QA Analyst and eventually to a Product Manager, I've navigated through the tech landscape with agility and purpose. My tenure at Crowdlinker was a testament to this, where I successfully launched over 20 product releases, demonstrating my ability to thrive in fast-paced and dynamic environments.

 

Embracing AI: Keeping abreast of AI trends, I've explored the potential of generative AI, developing GPTs to better understand and leverage this technology in product management. This curiosity and forward-thinking approach guide my vision for integrating AI into creating user-centered solutions.

 

Leadership through Adaptation: A key leadership challenge I faced involved segmenting the delivery of a product to meet deadlines while managing client expectations. This experience underscored the importance of flexibility, strategic decision-making, and the art of balancing functionality with timely delivery.

 

Customer-Centric Innovation: I take pride in a project that revolutionized a product's UX/UI and onboarding experience, tailored to diverse user personas. My work ethic revolves around deep diving into customer pain points, advocating for their needs, and ensuring delightful user experiences that foster organic growth.

 

A Vision for the Future with AI: My personal interest in using generative AI to solve complex issues reflects my belief in the power of technology as a tool, not a threat. I envision a future where AI enhances our problem-solving capabilities and drives innovation in product management.

​

My Strengths: My CliftonStrengths—Context, Communication, Individualization, Arranger, and Woo—mirror my professional journey. They highlight my ability to draw insights from the past, communicate effectively, appreciate individuality, organize resources efficiently, and connect with people genuinely.
