How I think, build, and show up.

About Me
I'm Carlos Rodriguez, a product manager and design strategist working at the intersection of healthcare, education, and human-centered AI. I lead products and programs from concept to scaled impact—defining vision, prioritizing features, aligning cross-functional teams, and delivering measurable outcomes.
With a background in computer science and a graduate education in design strategy from the Institute of Design, I've launched AI-powered research tools for first-generation students, embedded Microsoft Copilot into healthcare education, and re-architected cohort-based programs to remove structural barriers.
My approach combines PM discipline—roadmapping, trade-off analysis, metrics-driven iteration—with human-centered design:
- Designing frameworks that scale with integrity
- Facilitating alignment across diverse stakeholders
- Prototyping experiences where AI supports human judgment, not replaces it
I'm driven to build products that advance equity, strengthen systems, and create lasting value. If you're working on AI or education products that blend technology, strategy, and impact, let's connect.
