Hey, I'm Sam

Computer science student at UT Austin

[About]

I'm a computer science student at UT Austin exploring robotics, distributed systems, and computer vision, currently working in the AMRL lab on autonomous driving.

I'm an incoming software engineer intern at Findhelp this summer.

[Previously]

Dec 2025 Software engineer intern at Axentra OS.
July 2024 Worked on LLMs at a stealth startup based in Southeast Asia.
May 2024 Research in the RobIn lab on imitation learning for the BaRiFlex gripper.

[Interests]

I listen to music more often than I don't.
I love to watch (and write my thoughts on) films.
I play a lot of video games, and I’m good at some of them.
