Hey what's up! I self-taught programming as a teen in the early 00's, drifted around into the military, got an engineering degree with CS minor, and have made various apps along the way!
When I started programming it was a cool nerd hobby but not very lucrative.
Now, I'm getting serious about getting back into creating cool apps for the world. I still have an app on the Apple Store called "Sendit Ballistics." It's a ballistics solver for all the rifle shooters out there. When I made the app I just figured I would build it and they will come, roflmao. I do plan to update this app, and launch here on ProductHunt at some point soon.
Now I understand that I have to get in touch with my market to build an app that the folks want and that truly solves a problem. I'm toying with a few ideas right now:
*A dashboard for homeowners, showing financial information and providing tools for home improvement and the like. Will want to intelligently integrate AI on this one.
*A fired heater simulator (I'm an oil and gas engineer)
*A super simple document review, control, and approval platform. Basically I just don't really like Bluebeam Revu or any of the other tools out there and feel they are too clunky and overpriced.
I'm now updating my knowledge for web-based SaaS apps by learning Django. My previous web programming experience was in Perl!
