Andrew Lee Sampson (born April 19, 1995) is an American software engineer, Open Source contributor and IT entrepreneur from Atlanta, Georgia. He is the founder of (CodeHere ), an open source coding and training program launched in 2014 and co-founder of (Aurous ), an online music streaming service. Prior to founding CodeHere, Sampson was best known as the creator of (Netflix Routlette ), a tool designed to help streamline Netflix viewing and selection, as well as (Borderless Gaming ), an app which allowed users to enjoy windowed video games more effectively on their computers. ==Life and career== Sampson, often known as “Drew” grew up in Atlanta, Georgia in somewhat at-risk lower-middle class community. It was early on, during his time in elementary school, that he discovered an interest and talent for programming and computer sciences. Recognizing that such skills could be the beginning of a fulfilling and enriching career, he continued to follow his interests in coding and programming, delving into the burgeoning worlds of mobile apps, computer software and video game development. Sampson took to app coding with the mentality of an inventor, seeking out common problems or inconveniences that he could address with software. After experiencing success with the launch of his app “Netflix Roulette,” his follow up project “Borderless Gaming” enjoyed a very welcome reception by the gaming communities on Steam and Reddit. Following these as well as a series of collaborations and contributions to Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects, Sampson sought to help open the doors to coding and software engineering to others, in the hopes that they might find the same fulfillment and opportunities he had enjoyed. In 2014, with the help of friends and colleagues, Sampson created “CodeHere,” a free and open source coding and programming training platform, designed to help users of all levels learn and refine their coding skills. After raising the necessary start-up capital through Kickstarter, Sampson celebrated the launch of CodeHere by following through on his “Ghost Pepper Challenge” fundraising promise and livestreaming his coding of the project. Presently, Sampson continues to expand his portfolio, working not only Endnight Games ltd, but also with the launch of his newest collaboration and creation, Aurous. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrew Sampson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
