App Developer @ Bain Capital

Tech Lead @ Generate

Software Engineering Alum @ NExT Consulting

Hi, I'm Sam! I'm a fourth-year B.S. Data Science student at Northeastern University. I enjoy backpacking, skiing, scuba diving, playing piano or soccer, watching FC Barcelona, hanging out with my cats, and approaching complex data science and machine learning problems!

I worked at NExT Consulting (nunext.dev) with Via Separations on Stream, an AWS-hosted platform consolidating data from thousands of live sensors in an ETL pipeline with a custom Grafana site. At Generate (generatenu.com) I'm Tech Lead on StrideTrack, building a data analysis application for a shoe sensor app for track coaches. This July I will be starting an App Developer role at Bain Capital.

I'm a teaching assistant for Database Design (CS3200) with Professor Mark Fontenot at Khoury College, Northeastern University. I'm also involved in research with the SHAC Lab (peellelab.org), directed by Jonathan Peelle. Feel free to reach out either on LinkedIn or by emailing me directly!
