Profile: https://flows.cv/antoniocastillo

I'm a translator of complex ideas with 6+ years leading programs that require both systematic rigor and relational intelligence. My background spans education, workforce development, and community-facing initiatives. I bring analytical clarity to ambiguous problems, build systems that actually work, and create alignment among people with competing priorities. 

I'm currently exploring opportunities in program management, policy analysis, and roles where intellectual rigor meets strategic impact. Outside of work, I'm usually reading, writing, or in conversation over coffee.
