Hi, I’m Don Hogan

Technical Product Manager — I turn complex iOS and AI engineering into shipped products.

I bridge technical teams and business goals with a builder’s mindset. I’ve designed developer tools, built AI-assisted workflows, and written the code to back it up. I also write about it here — with a little help.
