Sam is a computer scientist and software developer living in London, working as a full-stack developer at EDITED.
Out of university, he worked as a developer and data engineer at Optimor Labs – a startup saving U.K. consumers and businesses money on mobile phone bills through an advanced data-driven bill analysis and recommendation platform, Billmonitor.
Prior to this, he studied Computer Science (MEng) at the University of Southampton, where he took a keen interest in many aspects of Computer Science, but developed a particular passion for machine learning and data analysis in his final years. Outside of studies, he was also the Online Manager for the Wessex Scene, Southampton University’s student newspaper, and actively involved in a variety of student societies.
When he’s not working, Sam enjoys; live music, learning guitar (very slowly), rock climbing, reading (about pretty much anything), and cooking (ever-more adventurous meals).
He is also actively seeking to offer his skills and time on to social & environmental organisations, pro bono. Please get in touch if this may be of interest.
