🚀 Milestone Reached: Over 450+ Hours Building SoberSocial! In October 2024, I began building SoberSocial—a platform designed to empower sober communities nationwidethrough innovative technology and connection. Today, I’m proud to reflect on the 450+ hours I’ve dedicated to designing, coding, and bringing this vision to life. 🎯 What is SoberSocial? It’s more than an app—it’s a tool for individuals on their sobriety journey to track their progress, celebrate milestones, and connect with others who truly understand their path. 💻 Tech Behind the Scenes: Frontend: Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for a polished, responsive, and user-friendly design. Backend: Powered by NeonDB and custom APIs for seamless data management and real-time tracking. Cloud Storage: Integrated AWS S3 for secure, scalable image hosting. Authentication: Using Clerk to deliver a personalized, secure experience for every user. Deployment: Live on Vercel, ensuring speed and scalability. 🏆 Key Features: A dynamic Sobriety Tracker that updates days sober and financial savings in real time. A vibrant Community Feed where users can share their stories and find inspiration. Personalized onboarding to tailor the experience for each individual. 💙 Why It Matters: SoberSocial is designed to be more than a tool—it’s a safe space for growth, connection, and motivation. As someone passionate about making a positive impact, I’m excited to support individuals in recovery while showcasing the power of tech for good. This is just the beginning, and I’m grateful for everyone who’s supported this journey so far. If you’re passionate about tech, recovery, or both, let’s connect—I’d love to hear your thoughts or collaborate!

As it's #SocialMobilityDay I thought I’d share a thought on what social mobility means to me and the steps I’m taking to make a difference.   I come from a low income household where money was tight and opportunity was scarce. My lived experience of getting into production was an uphill struggle, so it’s important to me now that I use my position to help others whenever I can.   To me, social mobility means doing what I can to create opportunities, open doors and build a supportive environment at moremilk. When it comes to social background, working-class representation in advertising is low, and I believe access is one of the issues.   I want to make things easier for people from disadvantaged backgrounds to access our industry. I want to open doors and create new pathways, so I’ve devised an initiative for adland called XP1 that will do just this.   You can read a bit about it here: https://lnkd.in/etRNtMKX   Social mobility isn’t something we can improve overnight but it is something we can all play a part in improving. And there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be trying.   What does social mobility mean to you, and are there any positive steps you're taking?   #ShareMoments #socialmobility #advertising #production

Starting a company means diving into hands-on problem-solving. Back in those early days, with a very small, yet dedicated team, every issue felt personal and every solution was crafted with intimate attention. Fast forward to ten years later, and the team has grown to 200+ passionate individuals, focused on addressing challenges on a much larger scale. So, how do you bridge the gap between those early, personal solutions and ones that seem to demand higher levels of personal attention? I think of that same gap, between the small and the large, when it comes to care. If I want to help my own family, I have a good idea of how I should take action. But what if I want to help my neighborhood? My city? My world? Every day my team lives in this gap, combining personal connection with accessible technology. We want to reach more kids, more families, more communities, but we don’t want to lose that intimate attention to real needs that you get when you know someone personally. We want to maximize, rather than replace, the human touch. In practice, this means using technology to streamline processes, track interactions, analyze data, and above all, open-source the opportunity to demonstrate love, all while ensuring that every solution remains grounded in genuine connection. Anyone else out there trying to scale and localize impact at the same time? It’s a tough nut to crack, but the CarePortal team and I, along with our many partners, are headstrong about how important this work is for the families around us. #CareSharing #CommunitySupport #CarePortal #EverydayKindness
