Bio

Sam is a systems engineer and independent researcher whose work sits at the intersection of distributed systems, networking, artificial intelligence, and theoretical computer science. He has explored Software Defined Networking (SDN), designed and analyzed data routing protocols, and conducted an in-depth study of ORCA as a distributed operating system.

Beyond applied systems engineering, Sam has pursued original theoretical investigations, including proofs and analytical work related to the 3x+1 (Collatz) problem, Goldbach’s conjectures, the structure of the Collatz attractor, and conceptual research surrounding the P vs NP problem. He also works with AI systems in the GPT family, studying their capabilities and limitations from both a systems and reasoning perspective.

Extending his interest beyond traditional silicon-based computation, Sam is actively exploring biological computing, with a particular focus on building bio-computers using liposome films. This work reflects his broader goal of understanding computation as a physical process—whether realized in digital architectures, distributed networks, or biological substrates.

Sam’s approach emphasizes foundational rigor, cross-disciplinary thinking, and long-term innovation, linking abstract theory with real-world computational systems and emerging forms of computation.
