Strategy Game
A turn-based strategy game played across a graphical world map. Modern geopolitics, rendered for the browser.
Independent product studio
A small studio
building useful things.
Sodam Labs is the home for products across whiskey, food, finance, faith, games, and craft—with AI and data engineering under the hood.
01 / The work
Products in motion
Some are live, some are in testing, and some are still taking shape. Each starts with a real problem worth solving.
Community · Mobile
Dram Tales
A whiskey community built around blind reviews: taste first, label second. Growing toward a video channel of the same name.
Web · Food
what.cooking
A recipe aggregator and meal planner that turns scattered recipes into a week you can actually shop for.
Fintech · Planning
ReachFIRE
A planning tool for modeling the road to financial independence and understanding the choices along the way.
Faith · AI
Abide With Him
Bible study and journaling with thoughtful AI features woven in—a quieter, more considered kind of technology.
Craft · Commerce
Made by Jim
Handmade woodworking: the analog corner of the studio, built at a bench instead of a keyboard.
02 / Advisory
Practical technology.
Selective engagements.
Sodam Labs is focused on building its own products, but I occasionally take on small, high-leverage advisory projects. The best fit is a clear business problem where thoughtful software or AI can make the work meaningfully simpler.
Start a conversationPractical AI adoption
Find where AI genuinely earns its keep—and where it does not.
Workflow automation
Remove repetitive steps from the way your team already works.
Process into software
Turn an ad hoc business process into a tool people can actually use.
Clarity and simplification
Favor real-world usefulness over needless enterprise complexity.

About Sodam Labs
I’m Jim, and Sodam Labs is the umbrella over everything I make. It gives me room to build in many directions—consumer apps, tools for faith and finance, a strategy game, and furniture at a workbench. Different mediums, same instinct: understand the problem and build the thing.
