ABOUT ME

Hey! My name is Samuel and I am a software engineer passionate about creating impactful products and solving business problems. I graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2018 with a B.A. in Economics, and my previous roles were in corporate lending and FP&A. Having worked in cross functional and quantitative roles and also having a passion for the arts, I find that I draw from many diciplines. On my free time, I dabble music production and animation.
