About Prasantha Jayakody
With over 30 years in high-tech product management, I’ve built my career on one principle: great products start with a deep understanding of the customer. I’ve spent decades translating customer needs into solutions that are not only innovative but also intuitive, usable, and valuable.Along the way, I’ve learned that building great products isn’t just about the technology—it’s also about creating the processes and structures that allow teams to grow, scale, and deliver consistently. From defining roadmaps and go-to-market strategies to establishing repeatable practices for product development, I focus on building organizations as strong as the products they create.Today, as Founder of Self Told, I’m applying that same philosophy to help families capture and preserve their stories. Every decision we make—whether in product design, user experience, or organizational workflow—is guided by the goal of helping people stay connected through the stories that define them.
Experience
Founder
Jan 2025 — Present · Seattle, WA, US
I started Self Told to help families capture and preserve their stories. After three decades in software product management, I wanted to build something deeply personal—technology that feels simple, intuitive, and, above all, meaningful. At Self Told, every decision, from user experience to feature design, centers on one goal: helping families stay connected through their shared stories.
