Hosted by Zhenya Rozinskiy, Built by Humans dives into the real-world challenges of building and leading in tech. No hype. No clichés. Just honest, practical conversations with founders, CTOs, engineering leaders, and operators who build products and lead teams in the real world – not the idealized one.
About the Podcast
Technology changes fast. Humans don’t.
That gap – the space between tools and people – is where the most interesting challenges live.
Built by Humans explores what it actually takes to scale remote teams, ship great software, and build companies with intention.
Each episode goes beyond process and tooling, focusing on the decisions, trade-offs, leadership habits, and communication patterns that shape real engineering organizations.
Whether you’re growing a startup, running distributed teams, or navigating product complexity, this podcast gives you the candid insights most leaders only share behind closed doors.
Because at the end of the day, every great company is built by humans.

Built by Humans: how remote teams really work
with Zhenya Rozinskiy & Michel Baldin
22:37 – Episode 18 – November 24, 2025
Working with remote teams is easy. Getting alignment is the hard part.
In this episode, Zhenya speaks with Michel Baldin, VP of Product at milc group, about building software when half your team is in-house and the other half is outsourced.
They discuss:
• why classical outsourcing struggles without ownership
• how incentives shape quality and accountability
• how to get engineers to ask clarifying questions instead of guessing
• cultural gaps across regions and communication styles
• shared responsibility between product and engineering
• why meeting in person still matters
A direct, unfiltered look at how remote product teams actually work — not how people wish they worked.

Remote collaboration isn’t just a process problem — it’s a people problem.
We created this podcast because scaling engineering teams today requires more than hiring good developers. It requires clarity, leadership, culture, communication, and the ability to bridge distance with shared purpose.
By talking to people who’ve done it — the operators battling complexity every day — we shine a light on the human side of modern tech.
This is the stuff you don’t learn from courses, frameworks, or glossy success stories.
This is how things work in reality.

Mirigos was born out of a simple idea – hiring engineers globally shouldn’t be hard. Our CEO and founder spent 20+ years in executive roles in engineering companies. During this time he constantly ran into the same tradeoff. Hire locally and face all the usual difficulties or go the outsourcing model and give up control, don’t expect employee loyalty, be constantly surprised and blindsided. Until he came up with a perfect recipe. Why not combine the best of both worlds.
After successfully trying this with his own teams the idea of Mirigos was born. Mirigos means to astonish and we keep astonishing our clients with what we offer.
