Top SchoolJoseph Finney is a Mobile Product Owner and founder with 9 years of engineering and product experience, currently leading mobile product efforts at Regal Rexnord while running JoeFinApps, a portfolio of native Windows productivity apps. He blends hands-on development (Microsoft WinDev MVP, active GitHub author of Text Grab) with product strategy—shipping pen-first Ink Calendar, OCR-focused Text Grab, and long-lived utilities to thousands of paying users. His background in mechanical engineering and roles from design engineer to senior engineer give him a pragmatic systems perspective that informs both UX and technical trade-offs. Comfortable shipping across UWP, WPF, WinForms and .NET, he pairs rapid prototyping with production-grade packaging (MSIX) and cross-platform product thinking from prior mobile product management. Notably, he maintains open-source work that surfaces practical improvements—like table analysis and clipboard integration—highlighting a bias toward productivity gains that save users time.
