Sam Wood
Exeter
I'm a 23 year old computer scientist currently in my final year at Exeter University.
I've done a lot of random stuff, from cycling 400 miles around Scotland with just a tent (where I took my background picture) to speaking to hundreds of Nandos employees at their yearly conference.
I think the most impressive thing I've done to date though would be Ticklo. It started off as an idea and now Ticklo is in the process of becoming a reality through JEMS Technology Ltd. a company I founded and now direct. We are a new company, but our flagship application has progressed through to the national finals of the Microsoft Imagine Cup as a result of the innovative nature of the staff and startup.
It's either that or my dissertation, which is currently trying to kill me.
When I'm not working I really enjoy playing squash and badminton. I ran a half marathon (Tough mudder 2012) and I love cycling. I also enjoying running for guild positions at my universeity.
All the best.
