Over 25 years experience in software, from embedded systems, aviation, media, retail, to cloud-based enterprise applications. In recent years, I've focused on educating, and inspiring other developers.

Coach and mentor. I've spent hundreds of hours doing pairing sessions, coaching and tutoring developers at all levels of proficiency. I've worked with developers on everything from programming basics, to object-oriented design principles, to refactoring legacy applications, to pragmatic testing practices, to architecture decisions, to career development choices.

pedromsantoson Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate and from what?

I generate about $500-750 USD per month on a few apps I have published on the app store https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/letsbasket/id409205141 and google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytesteam.... Income comes form advertising (admob/adsense), in app purchases and paid versions.

pedromsantoson Started a stupid company. Failed.

Is this an opportunity to solve a real problem? In helping founders of failed startups. Would an "insurance model" startupt for startups make sense? I'm European, so not sure how this sounds in the USA.
