Joseph’s love of technology started when he was introduced to his first computer in elementary school, and subsequently, the internet.  He was enthralled with how one device could deliver varied experiences from entertainment to efficient and seamless global communication. This discovery led Joseph to want to create new experiences of his own through technology.  He pursued his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida and the Georgia Institute of Technology, respectively. He then pursued his MBA at the University of California-Berkeley Haas School of Business in order to transition into Product Management.

Joseph is passionate about the intersection of product and culture and takes pride in creating global products that resonate with local cultures and communities. As a Product Manager at LinkedIn focused on the member profile, he built solutions impacting over 1 billion users globally, with a particular emphasis on customized experiences for LinkedIn’s 700+ million international members. Prior to LinkedIn, Joseph was a Product Manager at Lyft and NVIDIA, and held roles in business development and marketing at Intel.  Currently, Joseph is a PM at Google where he has developed 0 to 1 content curation and discovery platforms for Googlers, with an emphasis on Google developers.

His passion for reaching back and ensuring those who come after him don’t struggle as much as he did is the reason this site exists.  Tips and tools on how to succeed in the tech industry seem to exist in a blackbox which results in a lot of learning on the job, followed by, a lot of mistakes. So don’t thank Joe.  Thank his struggle.

Oh, and he loves baking and dancing Cuban salsa.  Catch him in a kitchen or on a dance floor near you!
