I'm Sam Liu

I'm an incoming freshman pursuing Mathematics at the University of Waterloo who's building random shenanigans and exploring out-of-the-box ideas.

I've built 100-pound robots, engineered contraptions to solve my pet peeves, and crafted code that's used by teenagers around the world. I spend tons of my free time tinkering and exploring random tech. Creating is a superpower, and I get to learn something new every time. You can see some of the projects I've been working on on my GitHub profile.

From the beginning of high school, I tried to find a community of creative, tech-obsessed makers where I could fit in. I found Hack Club, and helped spread it across Toronto with events like Canada's largest IRL hackathon for teens. I brought the same energy to my hometown with Ottawa's first-ever IRL high school hackathon, kickstarting another vibrant community of teen makers. I aspire to bring people together and spread my passion for creating. I'm very thankful to everyone who's helped me on this journey, and if any of this resonates, please reach out!

Welcome to this quiet corner where I document my journey and share what I've learned. I'm always down to chat about stuff. I may seem awkward at first, but please say hi!
