Who We Are

Founded in Dayton, Ohio in 2015, Mile Two is an applied innovation company with experience in software development, user experience design, visual design, and cognitive systems engineering. In short, we build better software solutions. From prototypes to production software, our multi-disciplinary teams use a unique user-driven approach to create interfaces that seamlessly connect people to the technology they are using to accomplish their mission. While the majority of our customer base is the DoD, we also help commercial companies ranging from startups to the Fortune 500.

We are a growing team of energetic problem-solvers and technologists. We foster vibrant connections between our team, our community, and our clients. We are driven by our shared set of core values:

Humble Expertise

We value expertise and trust our employees to do the right thing. We flex to accommodate the best solution regardless of our individual contributions. Our multi-disciplinary process requires us to challenge each other which leads to innovation.

Tangible Results

We produce high quality results for our customers. Our unique approach to solving problems allows us to create value we are proud of. We honor the commitments we make to our customers and each other.

Supported Autonomy

Each of us is responsible for the outcomes of our performance and lean on our teams for support and collaboration. We depend on everyone being engaged and pushing towards continuous improvement.

Success is a Team Effort

We actively share our perspectives, while also listening and being open to the perspectives of our teammates. This allows us to generate insights and results that are more than the sum of our individual efforts.
