Dryden

Associate Product Manager at YouTube (Google)

Building at the intersection of AI and creativity. I care about products that make complex systems feel effortless, and beautiful experiences that genuinely matter to people.

I'm a Systems Design Engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo, a discipline that trained me to think holistically about systems, the people who use them, and the spaces between. I've built products spanning AR/VR, mapping, compensation intelligence, and generative AI.

I grew up across three countries: Canada, Guatemala, and Peru, and am fluent in English and Spanish. That upbringing gave me a deep appreciation for context, nuance, and the many different ways people experience the world.

Outside of work, I was a YouTube content creator with over 110K subscribers and 15.5 million views covering tech, apps, creativity, and DIY. I love side projects, new frameworks, and any excuse to tinker with something new.
