Hi, I'm Kealan!

With a background in software engineering, product management, and entrepreneurship, I'm passionate about all things technology. My unique skillset is being able to bridge the gap between vision, strategy, and execution, outlined below in the section: Closing the Loop.

Outside my professional pursuits, I have a wide assortment of things I'm passionate about. I love spending time with family & friends, playing anything competitive (sports, board games, video games), watching movies, creating video content, and more!

I also love fitness and traveling, both of which are documented on this website - feel free to check them out!

Vision is knowing where we need to go long-term - deciding where we should be in 5, 10, even 25 years.

Strategy is the roadmap to get there - prioritizing, making decisions, and organizing a clear path.

Execution is making it happen - actually building towards our vision, step-by-step.

These stages make up the loop of taking an idea and turning it into a success.

Every organization, whether a startup or a Fortune 500 company, moves through these stages. While there are many skilled people who excel in one stage, a major challenge that exists is bridging the gaps between them.

That's why my goal has always been to "close the loop" by being capable across this entire cycle, connecting vision, strategy, and execution to drive success.

Through my experience in entrepreneurship, product leadership, and software engineering, I've developed a skill set across all three stages, making me capable of bridging the gaps between them. I'm able to work as a product-minded engineer, a technically-proficient product manager, and anything in between.

• Taught myself how to code from scratch, leading to work at Meta, Microsoft, and AWS.
• Ran my first half-marathon in sub-2 hours (marathon up next!).
