Hey there, my name is Hamilton.

I'm a product manager, fascinated with user adoption, bootstrapping fun ideas, diving into data, giving talks on leadership, and jamming on my cello & guitar. I get to do a lot of these things over at my product studio: Adler Ventures.

Chicago native currently living in Hong Kong & Shanghai.

What I enjoy doing...

Full Stack Web Technologies

I enjoy the challenges in both front-end and back-end development, but my interest lies in user experience design and it's growing ability to better convey ideas, interactions, and solutions.

Team & Product Management

Having led teams and initiatives for the past 20 years, I've grown fascinated by management theory, the exponential productivity a team can accumulate, and the inevitable personal growth accumulated.

Business Development

Starting my career in sales and marketing, I've acquired over 13 years of experience in client relationship management, market analysis, and strategic partnership building.





What I lose sleep over...

Solving Problems w/ Technology

I'm constantly amazed at the speed which technology is trickling down into society, and it's ability to solve centuries old issues.

The Applications of Music

As a classically trained cellist for 20+ years, I've grown enamoured by the intersection of music & neuroscience, music & AI, and music as a tool for human understanding.

Improving My Own Design

From calorie counting to psycho-analytical assessments, I'm obsessive about who I am, how i think, and putting in place systems to tweak my output.

What I'm working on now...

Interesting projects at the moment. Reach out if you'd like to collaborate!

In 2023, I started a product studio, focused on crafting thoughtful experiences in niche areas around the web. I'll be building several products myself, as well as partnering with friends to help them build theirs. Follow my journey over at adlerventures.co.
