Started coding in my early teens, Apple II, BBC micro and moving on to Amiga where it moved from a hobby to a profession.
MysticCoder was created around 2011 after working on the initial version of MysticThumbs.
Over a decade has passed since then and MysticThumbs has gone from strength to strength and attracted a significant audience and user base.
A few other products and games have also been created along the way, however MysticThumbs remains the core focus.
There have been a few other people involved from time to time, however for the most part I am the sole owner/operator working on all areas of the business, design, coding, artwork, website development, database, support, financials and so on.
User support is a high priority and I do my best to accomodate bug and feature requests as well as producing a fast turn-around within reason.
