Senior Product Manager @ Skydio

About

I am an out-of-the-box-thinking product manager with a technical mechanical engineering background and a drive to creatively innovate for customers. I received my master’s degree in Integrated Product Design and bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. I currently work as a product manager at Skydio, owning wireless hardware and software across our platforms of autonomous flying robots.I thrive in fast-paced work environments, and have a track record for delivering elegant solutions to complex problems. I love working at the intersections between product management, mechanical engineering, design, and strategy. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, reading, gardening and volunteering on urban farms, and exploring new restaurants. Find projects of mine on my website @ leorakorn.com. I am based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
