About Me

Hey there! I'm Sam—an inquisitive mind fascinated by the inner workings of technology. From early internet games to my uncle's mysterious terminal-driven installation of Windows XP, I've always been captivated by computers.

With a background in Theology, Psychology, and Education from Boston College, I embarked on a journey to become a skilled software engineer through App Academy. The rigorous, peer-learning environment resonated with my belief in continuous growth.

Curious to create innovative solutions and explore new frontiers in tech, I thrive on challenges that push my boundaries. Whether it's developing cutting-edge web applications or unraveling complex systems, I'm eager to collaborate and craft something extraordinary together!
