Over the course of my career, I have developed — or contributed to the development of — several applications that have reached thousands of users worldwide. Some of these tools were released as commercial products, while others were made freely available to the community. A few continue to evolve and serve users today; others have fulfilled their purpose and been gracefully retired.
