CARPOOLIN
Hi!
I've spent my entire career tinkering in the software space, driven by a curiosity for using tech to solve real-world problems.
​
That curiosity has led me to build Carpoolin, a project that brings together the values I hold and tackles a problem I believe we can actually solve, together!
​
If my vision is realised, Carpoolin will help ease traffic congestion, reduce emissions, and even improve mental health by rebuilding community connection through shared travel.
​​
I'm excited to see how far we can take it.

The Carpoolin Story
Carpoolin began as a thought while sitting in traffic..
It was a sad situation, losing over an hour each day commuting to and from work. sound familiar?
My commute was from West Auckland to the North Shore and at the time of writing this -- no direct bus route exist.
​
I'm not here to bad mouth public transport. When its operating and works for you, it's great!
Outside of that, options are bleak.
Aotearoa has an abundance of cars, lets use em!
​
After some research, it felt as though New Zealand had no real ways of addressing this problem.
And that our appetite for cars could be a reflection of inadequete public transport or transport alternatives many of our communities face.
I don't think more lanes will fix the traffic problems NZ is facing, there are many articles and papers that go into this.
Through my own thought experiments I would always come back to US the people.
We have to get better!
One of my hopes with Carpoolin is to get the community back together and engaging with one another, you know.. Like the good olde days!
Travelling to and from work together would definitely help. And simply being in the presence of another human has massive mental health benefits alone!
​
Building Carpoolin is a no brainer, we need this.
Wish me luck.
