About

Hey Hunters & Makers 👋 I'm Mark, a software engineer at Pocketworks, specialising in mobile development (iOS native & Flutter). I have a varied background in research and tech consultancy, but the constant is that I enjoy solving interesting problems! A problem that's bugged me for a while is: "How we can use tech for good to *actually* connect with our long distance friends?" I've met some amazing people during my time in research, but now we're spread all over the globe and struggle to find time to keep in touch. I founded SoonCall with goal of making it easier to manage long distance friendship, feel more connected, and be a better friend. If this sounds helpful for you too, let's connect! I'd love to hear how I can build SoonCall to bring real value to others facing this issue!
