Andy Dent

I'm a solo founder of an interactive messaging product: Touchgram now available in Apple iMessage.

I’ve been an “indie” much of my working life including my first startup in the 90’s developing, and retailing internationally, the OOFILE range of C++ tools for databases, forms GUIs, report-writer and code generation.

I’m looking forward to contributing to the community both technically and as someone active in startup founding. I'm a toolsmith and product creator at heart, with 35+ years of programming but painfully layering design sensibilities and business savvy on top.

I'm a black belt (sash) in Chow Gar Kung Fu and have also been studying Chen Man Ch'ing style Tai Chi for a mere 8 years.

I also utterly love snow skiing but get a few days of it very 2-3 years due to living in Perth Western Australia with a wife who'd rather visit Europe in warm weather than chilly ski resorts.
