About me

Hi I'm Sam - an aspiring full stack developer in the GTA. I graduated from business school in 2016 then worked at RBC for a few years. I decided to go back to school in Fall of 2019 and have enjoyed every moment of Sheridan's Software Development and Network Engineering program since.

Developing sites and application is a creative process that has helped me fall in love with the journey and pushes me to expand my knowledge and skills in the field every day.

I love everything tech, the great outdoors, and sports (go pens)! On my time off you can find me getting in some exercise, out exploring with my drone, coding away at who knows what, playing Ringette, or cozied up on the couch with my sister's pup watching hockey!

Now let's get to the real stuff...

Education

Wilfrid Laurier University Crest

Honours Bachelor of Business Administration major in Accounting
September 2012 - April 2016

My time at Laurier has taught me great communication and presentation skills, analytical skills and problem solving skills. A lot of group work, many long nights finishing projects and a good support network has helped toughen my skin and prepared me for the determination it takes to get things done. Whatever it takes!

Completion of HackerYou's Web Development Course
July 2019

HackerYou (now Juno) opened my eyes to the world of web development in a fun a interesting way. We had packed 8-hour days for 2 weeks straight, but they kept things interesting and light. With such great content and delivery and some site building challenges to test our knowledge and creativity, I still can't believe all that I learned in 10 short days there.

Sheridan College

Candidate for Sheridan's Software Development and Network Engineering Advanced Diploma
September 2019 - December 2022

Sheridan has really brought out my creative side and challenges me to think differently. I have always looked at programming as more technical, but the constant problem solving and having the end experience in mind has really pushed me to think outside the box throughout the entire process. For my final year I have joined Sheridan's Google Developer Student Club core team to enhance my technology tool belt.
