Sam Poder

👋 G'day! My name is Sam. I'm an Australian who grew up in Singapore; nowadays, I'm living in the United States and learning all about computers at Berkeley. Roll on you bears!

I enjoy making things (mostly involving code), running ha ck at ho ns and learning about random pieces of trivia.

Here are a couple of projects I'm proud of:

berowra

🔵 An open source CMS built for hackers and hobbyists.

Python

hackclub/scrapbook

🔥 A daily streak system & portfolio for your projects.

JavaScript

Python

Assembly

Away from school I spend my time working with friends on 🏦 HCB — a fiscal sponsorship platform built using Ruby on Rails. We give people the tools they need do incredible things in the real world: hackclub.com/fiscal-sponsorship.

We recently shipped our own version of Expensify!

I also enjoy exploring the Bay Area & California, here are some recent pictures of mine:

If you're ever in the area (say hi!), I'd recommend checking out Grotto Rock Park, Indian Rock Park, Twin Peaks, the Clark Kerr Fire Trails, and Dolores Park.
