Summary
Kyle Meyer is a seasoned software leader in Portland with 14 years building and integrating consumer-facing web products, currently serving as Senior Technical Manager & Cozy Director at Apartments.com. He led the acquisition and technical migration of Cozy, orchestrating the transfer of half a million users and unifying teams, culture, and technology stacks. Comfortable switching between hands-on engineering, product leadership, and people management, he has a track record of mentoring junior developers into senior roles and creating inclusive hiring and high-performance team rituals. His background spans startups, agencies, and education-focused SaaS where he drove major refactors, redesigns, and novel public-engagement tools that boosted real-world participation. Beyond the keyboard he grounds his work in nature—gardening, backpacking, and landscape photography—which informs a practical, steady approach to solving complex problems. He combines pragmatic execution with a designer’s eye and an unusual willingness to pick up a paintbrush or assemble desks when the team needs it.
