It took me 2 years to transform from a healthcare professional who could only *write about* software to someone who could actually *build* products. With today's AI tools, you can make that leap in just 10 weeks.
I'm Yong Kiat, and this Spring 2026 at UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy, I'm teaching busy public servants how to build real digital solutions to real policy problems.

**👤 About Your Instructor:**
I joined the tech sector in 2022, fresh from healthcare policy. I could only write about software and product management for government. Through hard work, I learned to build my own products—but that transformation took 2 years.
Now, with AI tools, I can help you make that same journey in just 10 weeks. I've reskilled 5 times across product management, healthcare policy, NLP engineering, corporate communications, and teaching. I'm a Singapore public servant currently studying at UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy.
