Thanks for checking out my Github Profile. My names Samuel, or Sam for short. I'm interested in everything Tech, with a focus on interactive experiences and information-science. Whether it's web apps, mobile apps, video games, or my latest interests—AI, machine learning, and information retrieval—I'm always eager to learn something new. As a student, my main focus is gaining deep knowledge, whether it's on the cutting-edge or tried-and-true concepts, and building cool projects along the way of course. Feel free to check out my repositories/projects; You might find something that piques your interest or provides you with inspiration for one of your own projects.

Next to the standard courses in computer science, such as calculus, linear algebra, statistics etc., my studies have had a focus on the following more technical topics:

• Software Engineering
• Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
• Mobile Development
• Web Development
• Multimedia Technology (3D, Video, Audio)
• Data-Science and Data Visualization
• 2D/3D Computer Graphics
• Computer Vision (CV)
• Machine Learning (ML)
• Natural Language Processing (NLP)
• Deep Learning
• Usability Engineering
• Information Retrieval (IR)
• Computational Intelligence

While working at cloudfood, I have had the chance to get into backend development using Django and other tools and constituents of the framework.

👨🏻‍💻 My coding journey

I got into contact with computers and technology at a very early age. When I was 5 years old my parents brought home a Playstation 1, which blew me away. From then on I was hooked. I continued engaging with computers and videogames until I was about 10, which was when I first thought about creating content. I started creating maps for games like Counterstrike and Warcraft 3, which was when I delved deeper into the inner workings of how these games worked. This took the form of modifying game files and such, where I first encountered concepts like datatypes and variables. A few years later, when I was about 14, I created my first game in Unity. It was quite simple and nothing particularly noteworthy but it sparked my interest even further. From then on I have always continued having an interest in tech and have been pursuing this interest ever since.
