Hi there⌗

My name is Sam, and, sometimes, I like to write.

My hobbies are chess, poker, riding bikes, hiking, computer science, and being a good person.

I am currently working as a Business Intelligence Engineer at Amazon.

My work includes:

• AWS(CDK, Redshift, SNS/SQS, Glue, EMR, etc..)
• Database Administration/Maintenance (18 Node Redshift Cluster, MYSQL on RDS, and Dynamo DB) setup and manage our code repository
• A lot of SQL (Mostly Redshift which is a fork of Postgres) also Python, TypeScript, Scala
• Data visualization using Python, QuickSight, or Tableau
• Creating data pipelines and new tables

What I’m learning about/deep diving right now:

• Database Mangement Systems
• Algorithms and Data Structures commonly used in DBMS
• Computer Networking (Reading through the TCP/IP guide)
• Distributed Computing
• Building projects using AWS
