Software engineer, founder, and amateur pianist.

I’m Sam, a software engineer and entrepreneur based in the sunny California city Walnut Creek. I’m the founder of Firewave, where we tend to build some cool stuff here and there. I love trying to beat my monkeytype score daily, tinkering with my DIY home theater, and taking my dog on walks.
