Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKassen Qian is a Senior Product Manager based in New York with 7 years of experience building developer tools and code security products, currently leading related efforts at Datadog. He combines a strong technical background—BS in Computer Science from Duke and hands-on contributions to Datadog’s own documentation codebase—with product leadership across network performance monitoring and Cloud AI initiatives. Kassen has rotated through roles at Google (including STEP and APM on Cloud AI) and a fellowship at Bessemer, giving him cross-functional experience in both startups and large tech. His work blends UX-minded frontend improvements (search and integration UI work in Datadog’s docs repo) with strategic product delivery for developer-facing security tooling. Colleagues know him for translating low-level engineering changes into clearer user experiences and for bridging product strategy with implementable engineering plans. He brings a curious, multidisciplinary perspective shaped by a minor in cultural anthropology and early XR and startup engineering experience.
