Meet Colin Richter, MPCS Class of 2024! Colin is a Senior Product Manager – Technical at Amazon. He credits the University of Chicago’s Masters Program in Computer Science (MPCS) for playing a pivotal role in his career growth. He shares, “As a Project Manager at Amazon, I use Figma DAILY for mocks for my ideas. Additionally, it is invaluable to actually be able to read source code to understand how things work. I even was able to suggest what APIs and functions to use when talking to an SDE who told me what I wanted to do was too complicated. “Cool to see a PM write code” is my favorite comment I’ve gotten at work so far.”
Before joining the MPCS, Colin received his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from University of Pennsylvania. He also worked as a Technical Solutions Engineer for 4 years at Epic Systems.
