Welcome to My Blog

I'm Aleksi, a Product Owner at Silverbucket, working at the intersection of product craft, team culture, and AI. This blog is where I share what I'm actually learning on the ground - not the polished success stories, but the messy experiments, the small insights that changed how I work, and the things that didn't go as planned.

Why This Blog Exists

Most product and leadership writing feels disconnected from reality. It's either too theoretical or too cherry-picked. I wanted a space to share the behind-the-scenes stuff - the daily discoveries, the failed experiments, and the gradual realizations that shaped my approach.

I'm based in Tampere, Finland, where the forests remind me that good things grow slowly with the right conditions. The same applies to teams and products. There are no shortcuts, just consistent care and attention.

What I Write About

AI & Product Development: I'm leading AI initiatives at Silverbucket and building micro-SaaS projects through Little Big Ideas. I'll share what's actually working in practice - the tools, workflows, and approaches that move from concept to production. No hype, just what works.

Team Culture & Communication: I believe the best products come from teams that communicate well. Not just clearly, but with curiosity, empathy, and psychological safety. I'll write about the practices I'm experimenting with, what creates trust, and how to build environments where real problem-solving happens.

Calm Leadership: Leadership doesn't need to be loud or stressful. I'm exploring what it means to lead distributed teams across cultures with calm optimism - creating space for thoughtful decisions and sustainable pace.

NVC in Tech: I'm developing a practical Nonviolent Communication course for tech professionals. I'll share what I'm learning about conflict resolution, feedback, and building emotionally safe teams.

What to Expect

I'm committing to at least one long-form post per month. Quality over quantity. Each post will be grounded in actual practice - things I'm currently working on, experimenting with, or learning from.

You'll get the honest version: what worked, what didn't, and why I think it matters.

Let's Connect

I don't have comments enabled here. Instead, I encourage you to continue the conversation on LinkedIn where I share and discuss these posts. That's where the real discussions happen.

Thanks for being here. Let's learn together.
