Hey there, I'm Sam!
By day, I'm a operations and program management professional, with a strong background in technology and data. The rest of the time, I enjoy spending time outdoors and tinkering with technology projects.
I'm a Midwest native that grew up exploring a vast array of interests and odd-jobs; from spending time teaching craftsmanship, to exploring the growing internet and a love for technology.
After completing my studies in Supply Chain Management and Business Management at Syracuse University, my career has taken a few twists and turns, however I've never lost sight of my love of rolling up my sleeves to build programs from scratch and dig through data. I hope to use my skills, knowledge, and abilities to help humanize technology and build a better, safer tomorrow for everyone.
Here a few highlights about me:
- I excel at adapting rapidly to new information and thrive in dynamic environments.
- I'm proficient in handling end-to-end operational practices like procurement, deployment, and customer success.
- I've developed into an expert in alchemist-like transformations of raw data and intelligence into clear, actionable reports.
- I have significant experience developing and managing large, cross-functional projects.
- I'm currently enhancing my carpentry and woodworking skills with the goal of crafting minimal, practical furniture for friends and family.
- I'm absolutely obsessed with my dog.
