I’m Sam, the founder & CEO of Bright Nights Social (formerly Third Place Bar), an alcohol-free nightlife platform in New York City. I’ve been hosting events and writing about non-alcoholic topics since 2022.
I’m also a “DATA PERSON”, although I do less of that these days. I’ve previously worked at data-centric startups doing things like healthcare data analysis and building an open source data quality framework. I also do a lot of conference talks and workshops around data, Python, Postgres, and general data things.
Check out my Portfolio and Bio & Contact pages for more info about my work.
This blog is a merger of several personal and technical blogs I’ve maintained in the past since my Manchester days in the late 2000s, so you’ll come across a pretty random mix of technical posts and personal ramblings about my travels and my time in Manchester, UK. Enjoy 🙂
