Hello, all. I’m Sam Vader and this is my website.
I am a recent graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio where I studied Computer Science with minors in Art and Philosophy.
I currently work at DefectDojo as an Agenic Software Engineer. I write a lot of code, and like any world-class nerd, I write some of it for fun. All my contributions can be found on my GitHub. I’m interested in lots of areas in tech—specifically with regards to public health and epidemiology, which is an area I worked in at university.
I enjoy art, reading, tinkering, and learning. I am also an amateur photographer (hence all the pictures on here.) I’ve been working in large-format analog techniques for several years now, but have recently been doing more digital work. I had my first exhibition at the Michael and Noémi Neidorff Art Gallery in 2026.
I’m not sure why I still have this website; I still maintain it for no particular reason. Maybe I just like owning my own domain name. It’s also nice to have a place to put an archive of my photos.
