Hi! I'm Samuel! I am a software engineer with a particular passion for UX.

I was initially trained as a computer scientist and furthered my education in Human-Computer Interaction because I care about people and want to be involved in the technology to solve problems to improve their lives.

Most recently, I was an engineer specializing in front-end technologies at Niche.
