Hi, I'm Jone Bacinskaite
Your Product Swiss Army Knife
As a project manager with a product-oriented focus and a background in education, neuroscience and virtual reality, I’m a bonafide jack-of-all-trades – the person who can transform your idea into a successful product. I created a course on AI & Consciousness at UCLA, managed volunteer projects serving thousands of children and housing insecure folks in LA, and drove the product design & development of Vantage Point’s VR Anti-Racism enterprise training. I’m passionate about creating purpose-driven products & services that make the world a better place – from increasing social equity to reversing climate change.
What I’ve Been Up To
Currently I am building on my project management skills by taking Google’s Project Management Certificate courses (enjoying it very much so far!). At the same time I’m expanding my product management knowledge by working through the development process of a passion project – more to come on this soon.
While skill building is my main focus right now, I am also on the hunt for my next product-oriented role. I’m looking to join a company working on the edge of innovation, especially in emerging tech, whose mission aligns with my commitment to making the world a better place. If that sounds like your company, check out my resume here or peruse some of my past work in my portfolio (will be updated with new projects soon!).
