Transition from Oil and Gas to Building Apps
After working in the oil and gas industry, the podcaster transitioned to building apps, starting with Weatherline. The idea came about while experiencing flight delays at an airport and noticing the need for a better flight tracking app to fill the void left by a once-popular app that was acquired and redesigned, leading to user backlash. The success of Weatherline, along with the impetus to address unmet needs like accurate flight tracking, spurred the development of Flightie.
