Upon graduation, Sam had the privilege of participating in an EMI project trip to Ethiopia, Awassa in 2019.  He later joined two local firms where he grew professionally in project design, office practice, and site construction management, among other areas.

In 2021, Sam extended his professional career into the space of academia as a teaching assistant at his former university in the Department of Architecture on a part-time basis for close to 2 years before returning to a full-time job under a firm. Sam is passionate about sharing architectural design knowledge and creating contextually relevant and affordable architecture that improves people's daily lives.

In 2024, Sam was reunited with EMI this time as a junior architect fellow at the EMI Uganda office, a great opportunity to grow professionally and spiritually.
