Sean Miller
Technology. Leadership. Curiosity.
I’m a technology leader, builder, educator, and creator. I write about how AI and technology change the way we work and live, and I build things to find out for myself.
Previously at Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, Oracle, and Paramount/Pluto TV. Adjunct professor at Wilmington University. Volunteer firefighter.
What I think about
Technology & AI
Agentic AI, software development, automation, and the future of knowledge work. Mostly hands-on, sometimes skeptical.
Leadership & Strategy
How teams plan, measure, and deliver. Delivery enablement, organizational change, and connecting ideas to execution.
Projects & Life
Cars, tractors, smart homes, YouTube, side businesses, and whatever I’m experimenting with this month.

Things I’ve built
I learn best by building. A few examples: Next2Respond, an app that helps volunteer fire, EMS, and rescue companies recruit members online; Buy a Random Product, a small site I built with AI coding tools; and my MilhausHD YouTube channel.
Work with me
I occasionally take on advisory work for teams figuring out how technology, AI, and delivery fit together. For small businesses, AI Jumpstart is a fixed-price, three-week way to get two or three real workflows running on the tools you already pay for.
