wing. He held a Python Certified Associate Programmer and a Security+ certifications.
Samy is survived by his Wife, Luna and Daughter Zolani Tcheuffa;

When asked how he felt after Zolani’s birth, Samy replied “I feel complete”. He was a
doting husband who prior to the Air Force did Uber and any overtime work to take care of his
wife. He was also a loving dad who held his daughter and took care of her all day and night

As a new Husband and Father, he was excited for the adventures to come.
