Kha Nguyen is a product manager and builder based in San Francisco with 10 years of experience blending technical engineering and product leadership across startups and major tech teams. He has co-founded multiple ventures, shipped fraud protection products at Microsoft, and now leads product at Middesk, demonstrating a knack for turning ambiguous problems into pragmatic, data-driven solutions. Technically hands-on, Kha contributes to open-source algorithmic projects—adding mathematical and hashing algorithms to the widely used OpenGenus/cosmos dataset—reflecting strong back-end and analytical chops. Comfortable in forward-deployed engineering roles as well as PM strategy, he brings both executional rigor and entrepreneurial instincts to cross-functional teams. Not obvious at first glance: his background in informatics and curriculum development signals an uncommon blend of information architecture thinking and the ability to translate complex concepts into teachable, usable products.
