Meet Kyle Gallatin, Technical Lead Manager of Machine Learning at Handshake. He starts his NYC mornings with a coffee run and subway commute, where he sneaks in some not-so-subtle ‘romantasy’ reading 📚 His days are filled with architecture design sessions and coding sprints that power our platform, with the occasional Nintendo Switch break while his code compiles 🎮 When the workday wraps, you'll find him grabbing dinner and drinks with teammates, because great code isn't the only thing we build here—we build great connections too 🤝
