My name is Samuel. My family calls me by my middle name, Kenyatta. My day-one friends call me Sam G. I love this. Anyhow, I am a registered U.S. Patent Agent authorized to prepare, file, and prosecute patent applications in a variety of technologies. Many of my clients were software startups. They were a major inspiration for me to make the leap into the software development.
In 2019, I decided to learn how to code. At the beginning of 2020, I got hired at a small boutique software development firm in Boulder, Colo as a full stack software developer. Then COVID-19 happened. I was laid off.
Despite the chaos of 2020, an unanticipated opportunity arose in one the most innovative, fastest growing industries ā legalized cannabis. As a cannabis industry social equity applicant, Iām looking forward to applying my skillsets in software development and intellectual property in this emerging field.
