HI, I'M TRENT!
I didn't get into product to ship features. I got into it to solve for people who are underserved, overlooked, or just not in the room when decisions get made.
With over eight years of experience in product, I've led some of the highest-impact surfaces in streaming and edtech. But the thread running through all of it is the same: build with rigor, lead with empathy, and never lose sight of who you're actually building for.
That philosophy has shaped more than my product work. It's why I founded LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Groups and mentored queer professionals breaking into tech. It's why I'm building PrideMentor, an app designed to connect LGBTQ+ people with mentors who get it.
I'm not interested in building for vanity metrics or engagement at any cost. I'm interested in building things that reduce barriers, foster belonging, and leave people better than they found them.
