About

Technology has to reach the market, not just work

I develop technology products and the business around them. I’m interested in how a product meets people’s needs and finds its place in the market. I take the same perspective when I try a new technology and write about it on the blog.

Przemysław Wilde
An engineer’s perspective on products and markets

Building automation, IoT and the electrical engineering industry have given me a practical view of technology. I like to understand how a solution works, but I also want to know who needs it and why they choose it. I look for answers in conversations with customers, partners and the teams I work with.

I have a background in electrical engineering and a habit of checking assumptions. This helps me discuss technical details and consider them in the context of user needs. I also learn a lot from people who sell, install and use the same products every day.

I live in Jastrzębie-Zdrój and I’m a husband and father. Outside work, I test AI and new tools, develop my own projects and write about what catches my interest. This blog is a place for observations, practical experiments and topics I want to return to.

How I work

How I look at products and markets

One product, different perspectives

An installer, a customer, a salesperson and an architect see the same feature differently. Talking with them helps me understand what makes a product useful.

The same feature, four different questions

Market needs

I look for direction in customer questions, competing products and problems people report during use. This helps me decide what is worth changing and why.

Relationships and partners

Business development depends on relationships with people who sell, implement and use a product. Trust, clear communication and knowledge that partners can use in their work all matter.

Data and decisions

I start with measurements and check my assumptions before drawing conclusions. That also applies when the numbers point in a different direction from what I expected.

Common questions

Before you ask

What do you actually do as a Product Manager?

I work between engineering, the market and sales. I check what customers need, what is worth developing in the offer, and how to prepare a product so people understand why they should buy it and how to use it. Most of my experience is in building automation and IoT, but the way I work is the same: first understand the problem, then decide what is worth doing about it.

Why does an electrical engineer care about AI?

Curiosity. I wanted to see what it can really do before I believed the promises. Today AI sits inside my daily work: data analysis, materials, prototypes. Most posts on this blog come out of those attempts.

Did you really write the tools on this site yourself?

The assumptions, the scope and the checking of results are mine; AI helps a lot with the code. I say so openly on every tool, because if I teach people to use AI deliberately, I should show where my work ends and the machine starts.

Want to talk, or invite me to speak?

Talks, industry commentary, podcasts and informal conversations: the easiest way to reach me is LinkedIn. You can find the details on the contact page.
