About Me

I’m Sam. :3

Welcome to my blog.













I’m a software developer and hardware enthusiast.

I’m a lover of all things technology, an open source advocate, and volunteer in many communities.

I enjoy solving problems, strategy/puzzle games, and making cool things.













Most of my experience is in mobile & web development.

Professionally I have around 3 years of work experience - mainly in react native development.
Outside of work I love learning and making stuff to make my life easier.













Here’s some stuff that I have made:













Factorio: Auto Resource Redux

A mod for Factorio that overhauls the gameplay to be more RTS like and combat focused (has over a hundred downloads). Built in Lua.













Telegram: Tag Bot

A personalised media search engine for Telegram . Built using Elasticsearch and Python. Hosted on Oracle Cloud.













WeThinkCode_ 3D: Cherry

A recreation of the WeThinkCode_ campus in a custom raycasting engine. Built in C++ and shown off at rAge 2019.













This page!

The animated background on this page was made with Three.js! It works by utilising some clever maths to create the illusion of an infinitely scrolling digital landscape.

Originally based on code by Maxime Heckel .
