it's me, sam

Hey, I’m Sam.

I’m a software engineer and geographer. I’m currently working at Read AI in Seattle, WA on the backend team. I have over 10 years of experience designing and maintaining HTTP infrastructure, high performance Node.js APIs, and Python data pipelines. I focus on building tools to help teammates be more productive, simplify complex workflows, and bring a keen eye toward debugging, service observability, and fostering friendly teams.

I previously built tools to make fast and beautiful maps at Mapbox, improved health care delivery as a Fellow at Code for America, and built websites at Created Media Alliance. I’m a former Editor for the Atlas of Design and proud member of CUGOS. You can find most of my work on Github.

Say hello
