Samuel Sharp he/him · San Diego, CA

Hello! I'm Samuel, a student at UC San Diego (go Tritons!) studying Computer Science and Urban Studies + Planning. Here are a couple more things I work on:

• > I'm the editor-in-chief of BuildSD, a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to "rewriting the story" of San Diego's development. I write most of the code for the BuildSD website, do all of the organization's graphic design, organize San Diego Transit Month each year, and contribute to our writing and editorial photography.
• > I'm the Webmaster at The UCSD Guardian, UC San Diego's independent student newspaper. I oversee the team that keeps our website running and coordinate open data and interactive journalism projects across the organization.
• > I serve on the MTS Youth Advisory Council, where I get to develop recommendations for the future of MTS service. My personal focus is on passenger information and service delivery improvements.
• > I help lead Public Transit Enthusiasts @ UC San Diego as a club officer. We are "the bus and Trolley club," as we endearingly describe ourselves to students while tabling. I've helped host outings and meetings, and led the development of PTE's Bus Bucks, our service planning-focused meeting activity.

In my free time, I enjoy photography and graphic design, all manners of spending time with friends, and playing video games (albeit badly). I took the background image for this site myself, on Highway 79 between Santa Ysabel and Julian.
