I am passionate about using technology to solve challenging problems with tangible human impact. My interests span machine learning, web development, AI, algorithms and data structures, relational databases and APIs. I have completed projects such as an IoT system optimizing water use in my church's food bank vegetable garden, a particulate matter sensor for comparing vehicle emissions, and a facial recognition app using OpenCV. Currently, I'm building a full-stack web app for managing gut microbiomes and collaborating with SEA Lab on a clustering algorithm to automatically triage video based bug reports. I'm eager to grow through impactful open-source projects and internships—connect with me on LinkedIn or GitHub, or reach out via email at sam.robert.bennett@gmail.com.
