Product Manager at Minnect🤝 Ex-Gartner 📊 Harvard Class of 2020📚 Former Harvard Men’s Lightweight Rower and Team Manager🚣🏼‍♀️ Let’s talk about🗣️: -Setting yourself up with a professional career at a young age -Product Management -Getting into top schools -Interviewing best practices -Your resume and how to make it better -Rowing & lifting -Good money habits for young professionals (a dollar saved is a dollar earned 💰) -Mindset for young professionals -Any topic in which you would like to have a logical soundboard Welcome to Minnect! My name is David, but many of you may know me as Minnect Support. Born in Miami, the son of Cuban🇨🇺 immigrants and a first generation college student at Harvard. I majored in Economics with a minor in Psychology, with some stat classes sprinkled throughout. 🎓Upon graduating in the midst of the pandemic, I began my career at Gartner. I was a Business Strategy and Operations Associate for about two years. During this time frame, I helped shape Gartner’s digital event strategy and developed tools that optimized Client Success Associates’ abilities to serve clients. During my client facing rotation, I worked with Heads of Finance and Real Estate, some from Salesforce, Abode, Whole Foods, etc., on their mission critical initiatives while simultaneously revolutionizing how clients were served by developing a framework orientated around the client’s job to be done. 👨‍💻I made a lateral pivot into Product by joining a team derived from a start-up Gartner had just acquired. I worked in a multitude of features until I was elevated to the task of integrating Gartner’s Peer Community into their event portfolio, allowing for the continuation of an in-person experience on a digital platform. 🚣🏼‍♀️I rowed for nearly 8 years. In high school, I was a two-time Scholastic National Champion and won the Lightweight 8+ Youth National Championship by open water my senior year. I then walked on to the Men’s Harvard Lightweight Rowing team, where my accolades include a gold medal at Eastern Sprints and a silver medal at the Head of the Charles Regatta, the largest regatta in North America. Since then, I have dabbled in strength training. I’ve competed in two powerlifting competitions and won bronze at my second event totaling ~1275 pounds. Other than that, my hobbies including cooking, reading, enjoying nature, 👾gaming🎮 and hanging out with my dog Kingpin🐶 Thanks for using Minnect!

I'm currently the Technical Director and Lecturer at the MIT Game Lab (https://gamelab.mit.edu ). We teach students and researchers about game design and computer game development. We also help researchers and professionals use games and game design to further their own research and projects. This process usually involved "purposeful" game design, where the end goal is something more than pure enjoyment. This requires me to quickly understand what someone needs, even if that means learning new technology, science, or sociopolitical concepts. I have also been a software engineer inside and outside the games industry. I've done a bit of everything, from AI to underwater robotics. I can advise on software architecture and all of the hip new AI techniques (e.g. ChatGPT), as well as providing emergency debugging assistance. Finally, having worked with well over a hundred software teams (student and professional), I can advise individuals and managers on team dynamics and project planning.
