Toby Padilla
Principal Product Manager at GitHub
New Mexico, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarToby Padilla is a Principal Product Manager at GitHub with 16 years of experience as a founder, maker, and engineer who builds developer tools and delightful command-line experiences. He founded Charm to "make the command line glamorous" and has a long history of shipping product and platform work—from early music-tech startups to mobile leadership at TweetDeck and Last.fm. Toby pairs product leadership with deep hands-on backend engineering, contributing to well-known open-source projects (charmbracelet tools, soft-serve) focused on SSH, Git servers, and CLI rendering. Based in New Mexico, he advises startups and builds fun products in his spare time, and—less obvious—keeps his mechanical curiosity sharp as an amateur bike mechanic, a hobby that mirrors his pragmatic, iterative approach to product and engineering problems.
