Intro

Intro - Welcome to Tech Drover — a channel for builders, wanderers, and skeptics of the modern tech world. I'm not here to pitch hype or chase trends. I’m here to share honest, boots-on-the-ground insight from decades in product development, mobile apps, and tech leadership.

IP

If you’re building apps, APIs, or tech products — who really owns the IP? In this episode of Tech Drover, we break down what every developer, founder, and product leader should understand about intellectual property in tech

Engineer or Developer

I see it all the time: companies use developer and engineer like they’re the same thing. They’re not. I break it down in this week’s TechDrover episode: Engineer or Developer? Know the Difference Before You Hire.

Finding Talent

The Developer Shortage Myth (or why hiring feels like NFL draft day without the highlights) Everyone’s worried about “not enough bandwidth,” but here’s the truth: It’s not a shortage. It’s bad hiring.

Innovation

Innovation isn’t a buzzword—it’s about creating real capabilities that drive business forward. If you want breakthroughs, not buzzwords, this one’s for you.

Technology Selection

Most failed tech projects don’t fail because the tech was bad. They fail because the choice was bad. Shiny frameworks and buzzwords come and go, but selecting the right technology is what makes or breaks delivery.

Technology Selection in AI

Bad tech choices don’t just waste money. They waste years. That’s why picking the right technology matters more than chasing hype. In my latest Tech Drover video, I cover technology selection in AI.

Top 10 Phrases I Hate

Our industry is full of sayings that sound smart but are actually lazy, misleading, or flat-out dumb. If your company uses more than three of these, congrats—you don’t have a strategy, you’ve got a bingo card.

Experience Matters

Tech loves to worship youth, but the real shortcut is experience—the kind you earn solving messy, real-world problems.

Mobile Love Hate

We love our phones. We hate our phones.
They connect us, entertain us… and drive us nuts with ads, crashes, and pointless updates.

Looking Back

After decades in tech, I’ve seen how far we’ve drifted from what matters — solving real problems.

Looking Forward

The warm-up’s over — time to dig into real tech that people actually use. I’ve got an app in the works to make activities safer, some embedded experiments, and a few myths to bust.
