Hi! I'm Sam, and this is my personal website.
The intention of this website is to inform you of who I am, what I know and what I do professionally.
I am a UK-based software engineer and data analyst, you can see more about my
skills and portfolio on their respective pages.
I have a particular interest in researching the recent rise of extremist groups online,
in the last decade we have seen that social media platforms will stoop as low as boosting radicalisation content to increase user engagement.
Regardless of the agenda, content like this is incredibly harmful for our political landscape as it often
utilises conspiracy theories and disinformation, which creates an endless sea of false information.
I wish to help in curbing these strategies by keeping a close eye on the accounts posting this content,
tracking what they post, who they follow and who they are.
Hopefully in the future we will be able to hold social media platforms accountable for the content that they host & boost.
