sammy

i love technology when it touches the real world.

currently, i am going deep on robotics and hardware and sharing what i learn as sammymans.

previously, i studied mechatronics engineering, worked as a quant developer, and developed a computational microscope called ParaSight.

growing up, i spent 15 years playing soccer, grinded my way to Master League in StarCraft II, and love reading and fashion.

these days, you'll find me , riding my , and eating burgers. say hi!
