‘There’s so much gratitude’: engineer who created viral vaccine site for $50

Huge Ma built TurboVax , a bot that finds available appointments, after discovering how complicated it was to book one for his mother

Huge Ma first came up with the idea for his much-needed vaccination appointment-finding bot after discovering how complicated it was to book one for his mother.

You had to basically open three tabs, one for each major government vaccine portal, and then refresh all day until you got an appointment," said the 31-year-old software engineer from New York.
