Sam Halperin joins Azavea with over 7 years of experience building web applications using a variety of technologies. Lately he has been focused on creating good user experiences ‘client-side’ using JavaScript, jQuery, Backbone.js and other frameworks. He graduated from Brandeis University in 2011 with a Masters degree in Software Engineering and in 2000 he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Art. Sam is currently taking Graduate coursework in Computer Information Systems from Nova Southeastern University.
Before joining the team at Azavea, Sam worked at Solutions for Progress, another Philadelphia area B-Corp. There he was primarily responsible for prototyping of new development, and front-end engineering, but within the context of the entire web-stack, including database code, CGI, etc.
During his free time, Sam is either on the water or on his motorcycle. He sails a 420 sailboat (4.2m) out of Long Beach Island NJ, and rides local roads on his “Conny” motorcycle as much as he can.
