Hi, I’m Kasey.

A product manager interested in the space between systems, people, and everyday life.

01 / Now

Making everyday
work simpler.

I currently work at Capital One on the Business Card & Payments: Accounts Payable team.

If you’re a small business owner looking for an intuitive platform to pay your vendors—that’s where my team comes in. I think through how your payment workflows can be more intuitive, secure, and efficient.

Kasey leans forward beneath a pine, studying a sheet of paper held in both hands with an alert, focused expression.

02 / How I think

Following the connections.

Before my current role, I worked on the Outbound Documents: Statements team, where I closely worked on the Capital One–Discover integration for my product domain.

One small change on a Capital One statement isn’t so simple. It can touch regulations, business processes, engineering systems, and multiple downstream teams.

I’ve developed the habit of breaking a problem into its parts, tracing how they connect, and asking what happens two or three steps down the line.

03 / At Duke

Learning to see
the whole.

Economics & Public Policy

Kasey annotates an open book on a wooden porch, surrounded by books, a pine, and a mountain stream.

This way of thinking started at Duke. Economics taught me abstraction: finding patterns across observations, and looking at the incentives, constraints, and trade-offs behind decisions.

Public Policy taught me how institutions behave—and that pulling on one part of a system tends to move something far from it.

It also made me a better writer. Implementing policy involves taking a pile of information, finding the part that speaks, and putting it clearly in front of someone in a form they can act on.

04 / Along the way

Different places.
New ways of looking.

My internships put those ideas to work in places that had little in common.

Three painted scenes connected by a stream: Kasey studies a vehicle component, considers a small electronic device, and works at a laptop.

Tesla Scale

I worked on pricing optimization for vehicle components. It was my first real look at scale: a decision that seems small on its own becomes millions of dollars once it’s multiplied across every part the company ships out.

Amazon Second-order effects

I researched the risks AI/ML could pose across the company’s devices and businesses. The job was to look beyond what the technology could enable, think through the effects that might follow, and communicate those risks with clarity and precision.

Those writing and communication skills carried through when I presented my report to Amazon’s Chief Audit Executive in person.

GovSignals Adaptability

In my last semester at Duke, I interned at this fast-growing govtech startup while keeping up with my coursework. Working directly with the CPO meant no two days looked alike.

One week, the question was our marketing strategy. The next, I was combing through data to check that an ingestion system was processing it correctly. I made myself useful by adapting and doing whatever needed to be done next.

05 / Everyday life

Away from
the desk.

Outside of work, I’m usually at a café with an essay or a novel, or tinkering with a project of my own.

Otherwise, I’m cooking dinner with friends, or running loops around the National Mall.

Kasey reading at a café, cooking with friends, and running in the park near the Washington Monument, painted as one flowing landscape.

I’m always up for a conversation about product, technology, design, or whatever you’re passionate about.

That means you can teach me something new.
