About Gianfranco Mileo

My Mission

I take complex, cross-functional programs and turn them into shipped products — aligning engineering, product, UX, and partner teams around shared goals, managing timelines, unblocking dependencies, and mitigating risks.

Right now I'm deeply focused on how AI is reshaping technical program management. Gemini, Custom Agents, CLI tools, and AI-assisted coding let me move faster on everything from technical reviews to stakeholder communication.

Before Google, I founded GFM Corp — grew it from 1 to 75 collaborators across 3 countries, and shipped 45+ mobile apps and 650+ websites.

I studied Computer Science at the University of Miami, specializing in Advanced Web Technologies and Complex Information Networks.

In 2026 I doubled down on formal training — 11 Coursera Professional Certificates and Specializations (69 courses) from Google, Microsoft, IBM (with SkillUp), DeepLearning.AI & Stanford Online, Duke University, and Vanderbilt University, spanning program management, AI agents, and machine learning.

AI Prompt Playground

The prompts I actually use as a TPM, running live on Claude. Pick a template, paste something real — a one-line feature idea, messy retro notes, a project you are planning — and see what a well-engineered prompt returns. No login; a small shared daily budget keeps it free.

Pick a template, add your input and run it. The answer comes back from Claude in a few seconds.
Runs on the Claude API through this site's backend. Prompts and outputs are not stored. A shared daily budget keeps the demo free.

What certifications does Gianfranco Mileo hold?

Gianfranco Mileo holds 11 Coursera credentials completed between June and September 2026 — 6 Professional Certificates and 5 Specializations spanning 69 courses: Microsoft Program Management (Microsoft); IBM RAG and Agentic AI (IBM); Machine Learning (DeepLearning.AI, Stanford Online); AI Product Management (Duke University); AI Agent Developer (Vanderbilt University); Generative AI for Program Managers (IBM, SkillUp); and five from Google — Google Project Management, Google AI, Google Advanced Data Analytics, Google Data-Driven Decision Making, and Google IT Automation with Python.

How does Gianfranco Mileo use AI as a TPM?

He runs programs AI-first: Gemini and custom agents draft status rollups and risk registers from raw notes, CLI agents automate reviews and repetitive Workspace tasks, and every workflow is written up on the blog. The 2026 learning sprint (IBM RAG and Agentic AI, Vanderbilt AI Agent Developer, DeepLearning.AI Machine Learning) grounds that practice in how agents, retrieval and models actually work. Try the prompt playground to see the prompts in action.

How is gianfranco-mileo.com built?

It is a hand-built Node.js and Express site on a small Linux server: a static, crawlable résumé page, server-rendered blog articles backed by SQLite, a weekly writing agent that drafts posts with Claude and generates their covers, a prompt playground and an ask-me assistant that answer from the site's own content, and an optional Three.js 3D world. Machine-readable sources — llms.txt, /api/about, certificates/index.json and the JSON Feed — are published for AI agents.

Is Gianfranco Mileo available for speaking, mentoring or advising?

Occasionally — talks and panels on AI-amplified program management, and mentoring for early-career technical program managers. The fastest way to ask is the contact form on this page or a LinkedIn message; he replies within a couple of business days.
