I’ve always believed that real change starts from the ground up. The problems we see around us—children deprived of education, youth struggling for opportunities, voices going unheard—won’t fix themselves. If we don’t step up, who will?

I still remember the evening that changed something in me. I was in 6th grade, out for dinner with my family, when I saw a boy—probably even younger than me—cleaning tables, picking up leftover food from the ground, and later, washing dishes in the open in chilling winter, all by himself. I just...didn't really knew at that time that this is also something that happens in this world. We were both just kids, but our worlds couldn’t have been more different. I was sitting comfortably with my family, talking about school and dreams, while he was working late into the night, carrying a weight no child should have to bear.

That night, I couldn’t shake the thought—why is life so unfair for some? And more importantly, why do we just accept it as normal? I had always been drawn to debates and discussions about India’s future, but that was the moment I knew—I want to do something real. Not just talk, but act. So that kids like him get the education they deserve, the life they deserve. Because this? This is not the India our freedom fighters fought for.

Today, I’m on a journey to understand problems at their root and work towards real solutions. Whether it’s through policy making, leadership, or on-the-ground activism, I want to play my part in shaping an India where no child is left behind, and every young person has a chance to thrive.

I’m always open to discussions, opportunities, and collaborations that align with this vision. If you share the same fire for policy, governance, youth activism, or leadership, let’s connect and build something meaningful together.

Christian Crumlish is Director of Product at Kind and was Director of the Product Chapter at the late, lamented 18F. He brings over two decades of experience in UX design, product management, and information architecture to the challenge of building ethical AI systems.

At Kind, Christian defines the product and UX practices, leads a project for VA.gov, improving the online experience for veterans submitting and tracking disability benefits reviews, and explores the possibilities of AI-enhances product management practices.

At 18F, Christian worked on federal digital services including the launch of ClimateCorps.gov and passport modernization efforts for Consular Affairs at the State Department, learning how to navigate complex stakeholder interests while keeping user needs central. This public service perspective informs his conviction that AI systems should be built for human flourishing, not just engagement metrics.

At 7 Cups, Christian lead product development for chat-based mental health and peer support platforms, where the intersection of technology and human welfare wasn’t theoretical—it was the core challenge of every product decision.

This experience shapes his approach to AI development: technology should amplify human capability without replacing human judgment, strengthen systems without creating dependencies, and maintain professional boundaries even when business metrics might reward boundary violations.

Christian is author of “Product Management for UX People” and has been a regular speaker at IA Summit/IAC conferences for nearly two decade. His writing combines technical depth with accessible explanation—a skill honed through years of translating between engineers, designers, and business stakeholders.

Currently, Christian is building Piper Morgan, a product management AI assistant designed with ethics-first architecture. This project demonstrates that privacy-preserving AI isn’t just theoretically possible but empirically validated—achieving 80.3% clustering accuracy using only metadata relationships, with zero content analysis required.

His “Building Piper Morgan” blog series documents this work in public, sharing both successes and methodology. The approach emphasizes systematic engineering over good intentions, architectural enforcement over policy guidelines, and information architecture principles as essential tools for AI safety.

Christian’s work sits at the intersection of product management, information architecture, and ethical AI development—proving that human-centered design principles scale to AI systems when properly architected into the information structure itself.

In his copious spare time he writes and records music with his band, Layers of Meta, and released a debut album in 2025 called No One Does it Solo Only.

I've been an IT professional for many years. I was a software developer with an elegant language for a more civilized age. I became a Quality Assurance Analyst because it's better to give than receive. I have been a process improvement specialist because it's easier to negotiate with a terrorist than a Methodologist.

Coleman Creed Ledbetter grew up in Waller, Texas, surrounded by quiet fields, steady routines, and a close family that shaped his early sense of direction. Life on a ranch near his grandparents taught him responsibility through simple daily tasks and long hours outside. He spent much of his childhood exploring open land and learning how work and patience fit together. These early lessons formed the values that still guide him with clarity and purpose.

After graduating from Waller High School in 2021, Coleman started college at Texas Tech before moving to South Plains College, where he plans to finish in 2026. He intends to become an electrician, drawn to the hands-on skill and reliability of the trade. Working with tools and building practical knowledge feels meaningful to him. The direction he has chosen offers a balance of stability and growth, giving him a clear path toward a future he can shape.

Music took root in Coleman’s life early on through family gatherings that often ended with shared songs and well-used guitars. Those moments helped him find confidence in singing and writing, and he developed a style closely tied to his Texas upbringing. He has performed in Lubbock at spots like Bashas and continues to draw inspiration from the outdoors and the people who influence his life. Music gives him space to express emotion and reflect on where he comes from.

Outside of school and music, Coleman Ledbetter spends significant time outdoors, where fishing, hunting, and surfing bring a sense of peace. Growing up in Texas helped him love open spaces, and trips to Costa Rica introduced him to surfing while he was young. His work experience includes construction duties with Epic Energy and managing rental properties, both of which taught him problem-solving and responsibility. These roles strengthened his ability to handle challenges with patience.

Volunteer work has also shaped Coleman’s perspective, including mission trips with UMARMY, projects at a women’s shelter, and supporting programs through Cepia in Costa Rica. These experiences taught him the value of service and community. Looking toward the future, he plans to build a career in the trades while continuing to pursue music, guided by the values of effort, honesty, and family that have defined his life since childhood.
