Built by Sambil

I am Samuel Sambil, a builder working across both software and hardware, driven by a want to make practical things that hold up in the real world.

It started as curiosity. I wanted to understand how things work underneath, not just at the surface. That pulled me from tinkering with code into building whole systems: a small language model for sustainability guidance, robotics for environmental monitoring, a touch-free sanitizer, and an AI voice model for daily organisation.

I do not think of myself as only a developer. I think at the platform level. Not just apps, but systems and companies. I study founders and companies like Tesla, Nvidia, SpaceX and Google, because I want to build companies, not only projects.

On the side I run Built by Sambil, my web development brand, where I build modern websites for small businesses and individuals.

When I am not building I am learning. I keep a steady weightlifting and nutrition routine, read biographies, history and engineering, follow McKinsey, TechCrunch and tech blogs, and I am teaching myself to cook international cuisines.
