Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCarolyn Galvin is a Senior Product Manager with nine years of experience blending hands-on engineering background and product leadership to drive infrastructure and developer-facing initiatives. Currently at GitHub, she focuses on product strategy for platform-level tooling after leading microservice adoption and Kubernetes best practices at Carta, where she drove 100%+ growth in service adoption in a year. Her early career as a software and test developer gives her fluency in technologies like gRPC, protobuf, Kong, Kafka, React, and .NET, enabling pragmatic roadmaps that balance technical debt and developer experience. She has a track record of improving retention and cross-functional efficiency through programs like product previews and standardized documentation. Based in Kitchener, Ontario, Carolyn pairs a mathematics and education foundation with clear communication that builds trust with engineers and C-level stakeholders alike. Less obvious: she repeatedly translates classroom-style teaching skills into mentorship and stakeholder education, accelerating adoption of complex technical changes.
