I spent 8 years at Microsoft learning how to build products with hundreds of people. Now I'm learning how to build them with zero.

I'm Mile. By day, I'm a product manager navigating complex systems and shipping at scale. By night, I strip all that away and build small, useful things with AI - just me, a problem, and a deadline I set myself.

This is where I think out loud about both worlds - what I'm learning from big-company product craft, and what I'm discovering when I throw all the process away and just ship.

One mile a day. One experiment at a time.

Now

  • Figuring out what to build next
  • Setting up this site - learning Astro along the way
  • Trying to build and think in public, one mile at a time
