I'm a long time software engineer/architect looking for ways to channel my passion for ideas and innovation into creating real products. I've always struggled to focus and have a 'finisher' attitude - I recognise I need to challenge myself to overcome this. I want to be a part of a creative community of like-minded people who can support each other towards making successful, bootstrapped side projects and businesses. My aim is not to create 'the next big thing' - I'm just looking for ways to make a modest living that enables me to make the most of life's varied experiences and opportunities.
