I create professional screencasts which demonstrate software in action. Clients can embed the screencasts into their website to show visitors why their tool solves the viewer's problem.
I also help to grow ShowMeDo.com - I co-founded this business in 2005, it uses screencasting to teach people how to use open-source software. This is my first larger-than-me company, it is successful, self-supporting and growing and has passionate following in the open-source world.
On occasion I also consult using my 8 years of experience with Artificial Intelligence technologie. In particular I have a great deal of experience dealing with the optimisation of logistics and physics systems.

The Screencasting Handbook is an eBook that I'm writing that shares my 5+ years of screencasting experience (in ShowMeDo and ProCasts) with others who want to make better screencasts.

With over 3 years building ShowMeDo as a social site for screencast-based tutorials behind me I use ProCasts.co.uk to make professional screencasts for companies.
Screencasts can be used for marketing and pre-sales to demonstrate your software and post-sales for user-training. We produce screencasts and add voice-overs to existing training material.

I'm a joint founder of ShowMeDo.com, a web community dedicated to letting people share their skills via self-made training videos.
Most of our content is aimed at programmers, with designers next on our list. Videos are normally made using open-source screencasting software and they show an educational topic.
