Hi, I'm Sam Vincent.

I build tools that help people stay safe online; and I'm studying the systems that make that possible.

A bit about me

Background

IT professional with over six years of experience across technical support, logistics, and regulated environments including the NHS and Ministry of Defence.

I'm committed to building accessible, inclusive products — good security tools are only useful if everyone can use them.

Currently studying BSc Computer Science (Cybersecurity) at the University of Plymouth; bringing real-world perspective to everything I build.

What drives me

As a dad of two, making the digital world safer isn't just a career goal; it's personal. Phishing, social engineering, and everyday cyber threats affect real people, and I want to build things that help.

I'm passionate about education as much as technology; breaking down complex security concepts so that anyone, regardless of technical background, can protect themselves online. That's the thread that runs through everything I build.

Student Rep and Treasurer of the Computer Society at the University of Plymouth.
