Sam Young’s Summary
I enjoy working in a fast-paced environment that constantly challenges me to learn new things. I excel at juggling many projects at a time and find it rewarding to produce organizational and commerce solutions for the web. I currently work at the intersection of code and design, integrating web
applications with custom designs. I am vastly curious about the potential impacts of Facebook and social 2.0 on the future of politics and government. I am also greatly interested in the development of applications and web content for iPhone and Android.
