Today, I designed, built and launched a small software application within very strict financial, security, hardware and software constraints.
Then I helped people with all levels of tech skill, and different hardware and software configurations, get it running with their own setups.
That's a lot of corporate speak and being vague, but it feels good to have it out in the world helping people: letting them get a very specific thing done better.
