Michael J. Nichols

Operations Leader | AI Product Builder | Founder, Rogue Baseball IQ

I build practical, AI-assisted products that turn operational complexity into clear workflows, better decisions, and measurable execution.

My background is in large-scale retail leadership, multi-unit operations, product strategy, and business transformation. I am now applying that experience to product development—identifying real problems, designing end-to-end workflows, documenting tradeoffs, and building working systems.

Featured work

A public, privacy-safe portfolio documenting the discovery, design, roadmap, product decisions, safety controls, AI-assisted development process, and evolution of Player Development OS.

A synthetic demonstration of an athlete-development workflow platform that combines calendar-aware planning, readiness, workload safeguards, coach workflows, and progress tracking.

An early-stage baseball technology venture focused on practical systems for player development, coaching workflows, and athlete decision support.

What I work on

  • AI-enabled product development
  • Product strategy and roadmap design
  • Workflow and interaction design
  • Operations transformation
  • Product documentation and decision records
  • Safety, privacy, and responsible youth-data practices
  • Pilot design, feedback loops, and commercialization planning
