About this episode

‘Try the tools with curiosity and see where it takes you.’ 

Today’s guest is Morgan Brown, VP of Product & Growth for AI at Dropbox. Morgan has spent his career helping world-renowned brands like Meta and Shopify unlock company growth, but he’s recently put his AI expertise to work in a specific area of his personal life.

Morgan has been living with type 1 diabetes for the last 20 years. His most recent side project CarbScan, which uses AI to estimate carbs from a photo of your plate, was built for his young son Brooks, who also lives with the condition.

In this episode we dig into how CarbScan works, how the world of product software translates to diabetes technology, and Morgan explains how to get started with AI as a tool for diabetes management with a view to faster, deeper knowledge and some all important time-saving.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
