I’m a pro at building the plane while on the way up.

Today, I’m building credit infrastructure for AI agents at CRS. Before that, I ran a 7‑figure portfolio at Consumer Reports leading the mobile app and partnership products. As employee #16 at Doorvest, I built products across mortgage, insurance, and property management. I move fast through ambiguity and build products people remember.

Justin is a fave and he will be one of yours as well. Thoughtful, strategic, hardworking, and reliable - go to him with your problems and you will walk away with multiple workable solutions. He may even check in with you a few weeks later having prototyped one himself. While that combination of smart, hard-working and confident can already be hard to come by, I think what really sets him apart is that his heart is in the right place. He is mission-driven and you can trust not only his judgement, but him as a person.

Nahrae Tinney, Senior Product Marketing Manager · Consumer Reports

Justin impressively combines strategic thinking with strong execution. He has consistently delivered complex projects on time while keeping business value and user experience in focus. He’s naturally curious, very creative, full of ideas, and happy to get hands-on, whether that’s exploring new AI capabilities, building POCs, or working through technical details to keep momentum going. Beyond his sharp product sense, Justin is an exceptional communicator and a true joy to work alongside.

Kristina Koneva, Mobile Engineer · Infinum

Together with my colleagues at Infinum, I had the pleasure of working with Justin in his role as Product Manager on the Consumer Reports mobile app. Right from the start, he demonstrated deep product expertise and a strong sensitivity to user needs, proposing effective ideas and putting the engineering team in the best position to execute them. His positive attitude, clear communication, and decision-making and leadership skills helped us deliver one of the most productive and feature-rich quarters for the app.

Nicola Lasagni, Mobile Engineer · Infinum

I hired and managed Justin in his role as Product Manager for the New Ventures team at Consumer Reports, where he was responsible for leading product exploration for a brand new space. With minimal guidance and steering, Justin came in and navigated the ambiguities of 0-1 product discovery and the complexity of a matrixed organization structure like a PM who’s been doing this type of work for many years.
In his product thinking, Justin was sharp and highly perceptive, picking up on and connecting dots across sources of information and inputs with ease. He was able to quickly absorb, distill, and process information, and then ask smart, targeted questions that helped him confirm or further evolve his hypotheses.
As a team member, Justin modeled excellent partnership and collaboration skills. From forging strong, positive relationships with his squad mates, to keeping relevant stakeholders in the loop to avoid surprises-- Justin consistently and successfully fostered trust and buy-in. In cross-collaboration moments, he showed up calm, collected, and respectful, and effortlessly balanced collaboration with even-handed leadership and decision-making that moved work forward.
It was a pleasure managing Justin. He has a bright career ahead of him and any product team Justin joins will be better off for having him there.

Ros Bernstein, Founder · Reframed Style

Justin is a bright, young professional with the motivation and skills to get sh!t done. He is passionate about data and using it to tell a story. He was always a resource we could put on a project and know it would get executed well and on schedule.

Vince Hockett, President · XY Planning Network

Justin's general energy and attitude were a great addition to our team. He's motivated, interested, and willing to help, traits that have made him invaluable to our team.
He's very professional, smooth with the technology, and extremely efficient. He engaged in a project that he made great headway on while simultaneously suggesting and modeling improvements for future ones.

Kassy Betterley, Community Engagement Manager · XY Planning Network

Justin is a highly motivated individual, he makes the effort to plan ahead of time, and collects feedback after a project is finished, to proactively improve. I appreciate the rapid growth that Justin demonstrated and truly believe that he has more potentials to be discovered. Justin is someone who can quickly seize the opportunity and bring positivity to the team, he will shine wherever he is.

Cassandra Doeng, Vice President, Investments · Pier Asset Management

Justin's drive for growth and genuine interest in self-development is inspiring and motivating. He is one who is always ready and willing to dig deeper, whether he's analyzing data, meeting a new connection, or launching new products. To know Justin is to appreciate his curious mind and his work ethic. I look forward to seeing where his journey takes him!

Isabel Leong, Director of Operations · Synergy RIA Compliance Solutions

Justin stands out as a thoughtful, passionate and unique team member. Through months of navigating the right role for him, I had a first hand look at his drive and was fortunate to ultimately call him a team member.

Andrew Luong, Co-founder · Stealth startup

Justin joined Doorvest during our early stages and has made a huge impact since Day 1. He has brought so much structure to the team with his amazing organization & communications skills ensuring all deadlines are met on time. He is always eager to learn and help others, making him such a crucial part of the team’s success. I’m excited to continue building products and culture at Doorvest with him.

Justin Kasad, Co-founder / CTO · Doorvest

During our time together at Doorvest, Justin was a valuable thought partner to me. With an endless number of ideas we wanted to execute, Justin would help me vet through and prioritize the most impactful initiatives. Through our collaborations, we've achieved meaningful results. It's easy to have an idea, but Justin has proven time and time again that he can take a lofty idea to execution. If you're looking for a PM who can get it done, Justin is your person hands down.

Chris Ono, Director of Business Operations · Hazel Valley Homes

If you hire Justin, know that you're bringing on someone who's likely smarter than you are. His critical thinking and creativity are indispensable when gathering feedback or brainstorming product solutions. He's calm and positive in his demeanor, but also firey about his passions. That passion is evident in his work, but also in the relationships he fosters. He's driven, kind, and—perhaps most importantly—open to feedback. When it comes to deadlines and accountability, he's a joy to manage. It's a privilege to manage and collaborate with him.

Minhtri Chu, Head of Product · Doorvest

Justin carries a considerable amount of cross-functional precision when leading projects. Whether facilitating the execution of an epic or a simple integration, his attention to detail is unquestionably present. I had the opportunity of working alongside Justin on a plethora of low and high-impact projects across an organization that is essentially four different businesses in one. In each of these projects, the requirements and stakeholders needed for completion would vary vastly, and Justin's proficiency in handling the critical needs (and nice-to-haves!) of the different facets of our company complimented him well. Justin is a bright individual with a lot of heart and passion to give toward the projects and goals that he sets for himself as well as toward the projects and goals that are placed in front of him. Justin is a challenger, a self-starter, and I truly enjoyed collaborating with him, pushing back against him, and driving real results alongside him. I'm fully confident that Justin will compliment any mission he joins, because he'll likely only join missions that strive to make a lasting difference and tie closely to his personal passions.

Christian Rios, Manager, GTM Engineering & Revenue Systems · Delightree

Justin is such a pleasure to work with! He is incredibly ambitious, is a very analytical thinker, and approaches solutions to problems in a holistic manner. In less than a year of working together, I have seen significant professional growth in Justin and know it will only expand from there.

Monica Croston, Special Projects Lead · Doorvest

It has been a great pleasure to watch Justin's growth at Doorvest. He’s an absolute rock star and many teams cross-functionally rely on Justin’s product, operations, and marketing expertise to help them do their job as effectively as possible. A few of Justin’s core talents are his ability to think creatively and his constant determination to learn and overcome roadblocks. Time after time, Justin proved his ability to take on more responsibilities and exceed expectations while adapting seamlessly to Doorvest’s rapid start-up environment.

Kris Nguyen, Demand Generation · PredictHQ

Justin is a true leader in every sense. He has the natural ability to rally and encourage the team, while still prioritizing and scheduling each sprint for maximum impact. He genuinely cares about each person on the team and makes time to actively listen and address any concerns. Even during tight deadlines, Justin is always optimistic and full of energy, which makes working on any project with him a pleasure. I truly hope I have the opportunity to work with Justin in the future.

He's an extremely skillful listener and effective communicator, which undoubtedly inspires others who have the privilege of working with him to bring their best work to the team.

Liz Phung, Software Engineer · ACLU

Justin is the definition of a true entrepreneur. He is not afraid to let his goals and passion be heard, but most importantly, he puts action behind his talk to make it happen. My favorite traits about Justin are his love for helping others, his humility, and his desire to continuously grow. I am confident that Justin has the tenacity to be successful in whatever he desires.
