The Story

Born in São Miguel Paulista, São Paulo, Sam grew up in the periphery — public schools, limited resources, and a determination that refused to accept limits. A lifelong reader and self-taught learner, he built a career in audiovisual engineering spanning more than two decades.

His professional path includes work at Facebook, Apple (supporting 240+ global video conference rooms), and as a Senior AV Engineer / Project Consultant at Texas Children’s Hospital. He is currently a Senior Engineer at Tesla / SpaceX.

Through his channels he shares life in Austin, fitness, family, and the everyday realities of building something from nothing as a Brazilian immigrant. He has also been a long-time supporter of creators like África Sem Tabús.

I AM THE ENEMY OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

From the periphery of São Paulo to senior engineering roles at some of the world’s most recognized companies. Trilingual. Resilient. Still building.

“Black, immigrant, public school, short stature — and now a Senior Engineer at Tesla / SpaceX.”
