Open to conversations

Michael's site is ready to chat.

Hi — welcome. You’ve reached Michael’s corner of the internet.

He’s a product manager in Berlin — building a technical data-analytics platform by day, and an incurable tinkerer off the clock: prototyping with AI and shipping small projects that make his life, and other people’s, a little easier.

Nice. What’s something you’re thinking about right now?

Glad you asked. A few things I’ve been chewing on lately — these ones are written down:

And some half-formed ones I’m still working out in the open:

Intentional systems, not chaos: why I build for my own lifedrafting
The PM as builder, not ticket-writerdrafting
What gets cheaper when prototypes get cheapplanned
Notes from building with an AI in the loopplanned
Love it. So what are you actually building?

A handful of things, all in progress on purpose. Building in public keeps me honest:

FermentrORIGIN

Where it started. A baking & fermentation companion — recipes, an attempt log, and a living timeline of every batch — built to capture what I was learning instead of losing it.

Bungalow Community HubSHIPPING

A private, invite-only hub for the ~50 people who share a plot of land near Berlin. Feed, events, and bookings in one place instead of scattered group chats.

BeeWatchLEARNING

A solitary-bee emergence tracker for my garden: photos, tube-state tracking, and weather, turned into a labelled dataset. An excuse to learn computer vision on something real.

HealthBasePERSONAL

A command-line health hub that pulls Oura, Apple Health, body composition, and nutrition into one local database and prints a single calm morning briefing — recovery, training load, a suggested workout. One clear read instead of five apps.

How do I reach him?

Email’s the surest way to reach him — he reads it himself. He’s also on LinkedIn and GitHub.
