My name is Sam, and I like to help people design things.

I’ve spent most of my life learning how to make products, and I’d like to think I’m getting pretty good at it.

My superpowers are:

  • Getting a bunch of engineers aligned on a goal

  • Helping folks understand the complexities of hardware

  • Being really fast at designing stuff in 3D modeling programs

Wy weaknesses are:

  • People who don’t want to learn or listen

  • Any products that could kill or hurt someone (accidentally or on purpose)

  • Shellfish


I fundamentally do not understand the appeal of Love Island.

I’ve been lucky enough to have worked on a ton of cool projects. Here are some of my favorites:
