John started out shipping his own Mac and iOS software, including Captain FTP and iSoftPhone, then moved into product leadership. He scaled a payment gateway from a handful of payment methods to more than 140, and led integrated video products recognised with the 2024 IoT Evolution Product of the Year and a Gold Globee for customer excellence.

Caddora is where he builds his own products again, this time across the whole stack with AI: iOS apps, Supabase backends, on-device computer vision and the sites around them.
