Sam Randa

I am a web platform engineer and creative technologist who builds expressive, unusual, graphics-driven interfaces. I recently graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Computer Science, where I explored how modern web technologies can power creative tools, visualizations, and interactive experiences.

Much of my work blends graphics and interaction. My favorites are Mint, a powerful digital compositing and photo editing tool, Cocktail Composite, a declarative node-based shader compositor, and tile.music, a data-driven visualization of music listening habits. I’m driven by how people can shape visuals through the web, using intuitive interfaces and libraries built on modern platforms like WebGPU and WebGL.

I care deeply about design and visual culture, extending beyond software. I work on styling and upcycling projects, help build online fashion communities, design and curate levels for rhythm games, and host and perform in DJ/VJ shows at WPI. These experiences inform how I design tools that balance precision, creativity, and aesthetic expression.

Beyond development, I enjoy studying cities and transportation systems, exploring how activism and design shape public infrastructure. I’ve also collaborated with nonprofits and community organizations on marketing and social science research.

I previously worked on security research for AI-powered healthcare tools at Doximity. Right now, I work with Mosaiq Software building platforms, engines, and tools, but I am always looking for full-time opportunities.

Finally, I pour lattes sometimes.
