Sam Morton
Associate Consultant, Desert
I was born and raised in Arizona and graduated from the Arizona State University in 2018 with a B.S. in Computer Science. I have been with Neudesic as an intern for the past couple of years and I am super excited to be graduated and given the opportunity to be brought on as a full time consultant. The projects I have worked on in the past have been exciting and I can’t wait to begin working in a development role. I have pretty general experience with development tools across the stack. I am hoping to get more experience in the cloud development field as my career progresses with Neudesic. I mostly enjoy hanging out with my friends, working out and researching new technologies. I keep up to date with breakthroughs in AI, self-driving cars, robotics or any other buzzword technologies that are going on today. I also enjoy PC hardware, I built my current PC and have plans to build one for my girlfriend, even if she doesn’t want one. I have family all over America and Europe, so I love to travel any chance I get. I am hoping to get to travel to more exotic places in the future. My current short term goals are to become scuba certified and plan a trip this Fall to visit family and possibly explore Germany with my girlfriend.
If you had to describe yourself using four words, it would be…

What is your favorite weekend trip?
My favorite vacation spot has to be England. I am not a huge fan of the Arizona heat (despite growing up here) and the cool, rainy weather of England has always felt like home. I have always enjoyed the dramatic change of scenery from desert to lush green forests. There is so much you can explore and do there that you can’t get anywhere else.
Sharing our core values is very important to us. What does Passion, Discipline, Innovation, Teaming and Integrity mean to you?
Passion: – A person who is passionate about what they are doing will find a way to get the job done, and they will enjoy doing it. Passion has no requirements except loving and putting your heart into everything you do. Discipline: - A disciplined person will get things done and achieve results. No work can truly be accomplished without discipline. It only cares about what has been done and what needs to be done. Innovation: -To be innovative we need to question everything. There is always a different or better way to do something, the only way to figure this out is to question everything and try everything. Teaming: - Probably the most important aspect of software development. The success of entire projects is dependent on strong teaming and communication. Without teaming no amount of time will yield results. Integrity: - Moral principles are needed in order for our business to work. Trust is key for consulting and in order to be successful we need to maintain our integrity no matter what.
