Hi, I’m Sam 👋

I’m a software engineer based in Budapest. I’m interested in AI, knowledge systems, writing, languages, fitness, veganism, painting, and long walks in unfamiliar cities.

Right now I’m taking some time off work to focus on myself, read more, train, write, travel, and think carefully about the kind of life and work I want to build next.

This is what I'm into these days:

Now

• Taking some time off work and focusing on myself
• Reading more, training, writing, and recovering a slower sense of direction
• Preparing for a longer Canada trip and a Montreal life experiment
• Thinking about AI, knowledge systems, and what kind of work is worth doing next

Past

• ✅ trying to remain up to speed with current AI trends - tech, ethics, law and compliance
• ✅ reading "A Brief History of Intelligence" by Max Bennett
• ✅ studying for the HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate exam
• ✅ studying for an AWS DevOps certification
• ✅ taking time off work to focus on life
• ✅ preparing for a Google Data Engineer certification exam
• ✅ going on an offline retreat to a remote village
• ✅ going on a Zen meditation retreat
• ✅ painting with watercolour
• ✅ working on a pet project (here)
• ✅ reading "anéantir" by Michel Houellebecq
• ✅ training every day (cycling/swimming/calisthenics)

This is a now page, and if you have your own website, you should make one too!
