About

I'm a former pro basketball player (retired Dec 24'), I played in 10 countries over 14 years. I taught myself to code using largely Python Crash Course and Codecademy during my last 3 years playing. Since then, I've always been building something. By day I'm a Data Engineer at an education tech company, but soon as I clock out, I'm back to building!

SoKal - Social calendar that shows when friends are free

SoKal puts a social layer on your calendar. See when friends are free, in town, or traveling. Create events and invite friends directly from your calendar. Select contacts, we send the text or notification if they're already on SoKal. They RSVP. You see who's in, out, and who's still thinking about it. The travel map shows where you and friends have been and where you're headed next. Connect your Google, Apple, or Outlook, we hide the private stuff, show the fun stuff.
