Hi There!
My name is Samuel Burdey.
I'm a recent graduate of Drexel University, and the proud owner of a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science (BSCS for short!).
While studying for my degree, I've worked several internships with different responsibilities, while also fufilling several Managerial positions for class workshops.
I am a determined worker, from being able to pick up and adapt to new technologies as needed, collaborating with different teammates and departments, and remaining flexible to work with/around different schedules.
My goal for this website is two-fold; to be a informative platform where clients and companies can learn more about me, and to act as a living implementation of my studies and work. So don't be alarmed if things look a little different next time you visit, as I want to continually maintain and improve upon this platform. You can learn more about it on my Github; also linked below.
