Hello! I'm Samantha Shomo, a game programmer and data scientist who graduated from Champlain College in 2025. I specialize in gameplay, networking, and AI programming.

I've worked an internship at the Leahy Center during the summer of 2022 working on IOT Extraction. I have also been an AI Researcher Intern for Human-Inspired AI Research in Seoul, South Korea. I am passionate about learning coding languages such as C++, Java, C#, and Python.

I enjoy volunteering at Garfield's Cat Rescue in my free time.
