Hello! My name is Austin Rockwell, and I am the creator of this project! I am a first-year, and I plan to major in math and computer science. Making SOBIE has been a very fun project as I love seeing others benefit from tools that I create! This project started out with me creating ObieEats, and I decided to expand from there. Some fun facts about me: I am from Ohio, I love the TV show Bluey, and I love music! I would love to meet some new faces! Please feel free to follow/message me on social media :)
This project is free and will always be free. In addition, this project will be maintained throughout my 4 years here at Oberlin, and I hope to keep it maintained well beyond my time here. Therefore, it is not just my project! It is a project of all Obies. If you would like to contribute to the SOBIE project, feel free to reach out! Whether you would like to help with the programming, or if you would like to suggest other tools to the SOBIE project, you can email me at arockwel@oberlin.edu (or click the link at the bottom of this section). I can't wait to hear from you!
