About me.
I’m Lot, an Information Systems student at BYU based in Orem, Utah. I’m interested in product management and tech startups—understanding a problem, building something useful, and improving it through feedback.
I’ve worked on projects ranging from games to custom websites. My experience in business development, customer support, and teaching helps me connect technical work with what people need.
Outside work, I enjoy snowboarding, dirt biking, and time outdoors with my wife, friends, and family. I also served a two-year mission in the Philippines, learned Tagalog, and am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
