You are viewing an archived site. I have saved it because I love the polkadots and they deserve to live on, not be banished to some git commit who's SHA nobody remembers. You die twice: once when you're taken off the web, and once when your SHA is spoken for the last time. See my current site at arminsamii.com.

I'm a 3D Computer Graphics software engineer, building tools and visualizations to help everyday people interact with deeply technical systems.

I am currently self-employed at Robot Armin, LLC and open to short-term contract work.

Previously, I helped humans and self-driving cars communicate with graphics & visualizations at Argo AI, leading the Visualization, Remote Guidance, and User Experience teams.

Before that, I worked on fashion-technology at Avametric, a virtual fitting room startup that helps you choose the best size for your body, and on Photoshop Fix and Mix at Adobe.

I received my Master's from the Visual Computing Lab at U.C. Berkeley, advised by James O'Brien and funded by the NSF GRFP. I received my Bachelor's from U.C. Santa Cruz, advised by James Davis.

I am actively developing the Ranked-Choice Voting Visualizer - I believe that RCV will make our elections fairer, and the biggest obstacle to its widespread adoption is lack of understanding. I hope the Visualizer can fill some of that gap.
