Homeless Coder Launches First App

The story starts with a young programmer named Patrick McConlogue who, upon passing homeless people daily on his way to work, decided to propose an offer to one of them. McConlogue offered Leo Grand either $100, or free development lessons on how to code. Grand took the lessons. That was in August.

Fast forward to today, 4 months later, Grand has launched his first app, and it’s available for purchase now at iTunes. TreesforCars allows for drivers & passengers to find each other to carpool together. Additionally the app calculates how much CO2 emissions were saved by the two riders sharing a ride, instead of each driving themselves.

The app is just $.99 – and even if you don’t need it, buying it shows support not only for innovation, technology and caring about the environment, but the plight of people taking the time to impact the world in a positive way, even by reaching out to one person at a time. Keep up with McConlogue and Grand right here.
