About

Hi! I’m a 40 y.o UK born and raised music producer and ESL teacher, turned software developer. Through music production, I found my “knack” for identifying and solving intrinsic logical problems and gaps in workflow. I now bring that same passion for problem solving to productivity and education based applications.

Hi! I'm George, an audio producer/ESL teacher turned SoftDev.

Hello everyone!
I'm George, I'm 40, from the UK. Now, before this becomes a tinder profile, i'd like to say I'm completely new to the world of software development and launching products. Earlier this month seen the release of my first app, ClipCapture, a type-sensitive clipboard monitor and organiser. It was a great feeling seeing my first creation finally hit the MacOS App Store with my name attached, but it's a signal of a long way to go also.
I grew up producing electronic music, and bring that workflow with me into software production, taking an idea and iterating through to completion (much like I would make music!). Additionally, my experience as an ESL teacher has touched upon an interesting direction for my products (forthcoming) to take, as 5 years in classrooms across different education levels has allowed me to see potential in these places.
I'm quite excited to be at the start of a new journey, and look forward to being part of the Product Hunt community as i grow. Thank you everyone! Have a great day!
