About

I'm Samson. Harm often appears in data well before action is taken. My work focuses on identifying these issues earlier. I'm a master's student in computer science at Johns Hopkins. In the ARCADE Lab, I develop models to detect spinal fractures that are often missed on CT scans. Epieme is my primary focus. I independently developed this platform to make safety records and legislation from all 50 states accessible to the public. The platform is built entirely in Python and has participated in the Spark Accelerator at the Pava Center at Hopkins. My interest in this work began at age 15, when my mother's care at a Maine hospital was mishandled. I researched public records, started a petition that gathered 22,000 signatures, and contributed to the passage of Maine's LD 870 anti-SLAPP law. Please contact me if you work in healthcare technology, are hiring for research or software roles, or encounter any issues with Epieme. I respond to every message.
