About Me
My name is Sam Stevens. I’m a Ph.D. student at THE Ohio State University, where I work in Computer Science with my advisor Prof. Yu Su. I finished my Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science at Ohio State in May 2021 (and minored in German).
I’ve been lucky to intern at SpaceX in Seattle, intern at Microsoft remotely, study abroad in Dresden and intern at GE Aviation (twice!) in Cincinnati.
I also previously worked on TicketBay with Salty Software and HealthyAgers with Dr Ruchika Prakash.

Behold, My STUFF!
Social media is a real problem. This website gives me a creative outlet without the pressure of likes, comments or retweets. I control all the content, all the styling, everything.
This website is my personal website. I’m not a person who takes myself very seriously. So this website doesn’t take itself very seriously either. It’s my stuff, not my CV.
