We figured introducing our team makes sense so you know who you’re dealing with.  I’m the founder of ProCasts.  The idea of professionally producing screencasts came to fruition during August 2008  after 3 years co-running ShowMeDo.  I bring the right team together to explain your stuff using video, I also create the screencast and voice-over elements.

ShowMeDo is a rather large screencast-based open-source tution site, we get 100,000 users a month watching over 1,000 open-source screencasts.  Users would ask if we could make screencasts to explain their products, from there I spun-out ProCasts to make these videos.

On my author-page inside ShowMeDo you’ll see that I’ve created over 140 videos, on the statistics page you’ll see that I’m ranked first for most categories (in fairness, it helps that I co-founded the site and spent 3 years working on it!).

My background is somewhat technical, in reverse order:

• Founder of ProCasts to help explain software products via video
• Co-founder of ShowMeDo in 2005, teaching open-source via screencasts
• Founder of Mor Consulting Ltd. in 2004, an Artificial Intelligence consultancy
• Senior programmer in MASA 1999-2004, an Artificial Intelligence start-up between the UK and France

My background makes me very much a geek problem solver – give me a hard problem and a team and I’ll successfully build you a solution.  Along the way (circa 2003) I learned that creating a solution was only half the challenge, explaining it and helping new users learn the necessary skills was just as important.  From there my interest in teaching people via the web and video grew to where we are today.
