Hey! — I’m Sam (ThizizSam)

I build interactive software anywhere from Discord bots and APIs to web apps and cross-platform games. I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from Arizona State University, but long before then I’ve been building projects that are helpful, easy to use, and fun.

What I do

My work revolves around automation, interaction, and play. I design and develop Discord bots that manage communities and host games, scalable web and API backends, and cross-platform games for desktop and mobile. I focus on projects that feel alive — useful tools and fun experiences people want to return to.

Philosophy

I believe the best software feels personal — clean, fast, and easy to use. My approach: design around real users, test often and iterate quickly. From bots to prototypes, I prioritize building things people actually want to use, and will enjoy using.

Looking forward

I’m expanding the ThizizSam.dev ecosystem: more discord bots, public APIs, and game releases. I want to build a community around these projects so others can contribute, play, and learn. Many projects concurrently in the works, stay tuned!
