Neil Epstein

Driven to forge meaningful ties between humanity and technology, seamlessly blending physical experiences and their digital connections in order to connect people to create lasting positive impact on the world. I get excited by and excel in creating unique strategic products through business needs, product & engineering requirements, market research and UX research. I strive to think holistically across customer needs and technical possibilities while navigating roadblocks and encouraging collaborative critique and decision negotiation. I excel in bringing people together, fostering cross-team collaboration, building inclusive teams that prioritize diversity of thought, and empowering team members to create their best work. I am also a Husband, Father, Friend, Maker, Runner, and Traveler. I strive for experiences over things (as best as possible, who doesn't like the latest phone?). I volunteer in my community, by donating my time to the township as a representative of my community, by donating blood to Red Cross (O+ universal donor), and by volunteering at food pantries.
