Hi!

I'm Sam. I'm from Kansas City (United States) but have lived in San Francisco, Seoul, Hyderabad (India), Berlin, and Buenos Aires.

I've:
- co-founded TEDxYouth KC (working with the curator of the largest TEDx in the US)
- built too many e-commerce websites (mostly on Shopify)
- helped operate Youth for Sustainable Impact, a group to get young people working on the UN's sustainable development goals
- got into Bitcoin/blockchain before it was cool
- rollerbladed a marathon in -17°C for no reason

Right now, I'm working full-time on an app to automate insomnia treatment, and maybe attending the most selective undergrad program in the U.S.

Can rant about:
- Organizing TEDx events / prepping a TEDx presentation
- Meta-learning, or learning how to learn with extreme effectiveness
- Sleep science
- Rollerblading I guess?

I'd love to meet you. :)
