Summary
Sam Nagourney is a solutions consultant and full-stack web developer with 10 years of experience, currently at Forter in Los Angeles. He blends hands-on engineering (Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, React/Redux, SQL) with product and customer-facing leadership from roles at Customer.io, Nextbite, and Bridg. As a former Flatiron School instructor who helped develop React/Redux curriculum, he pairs technical mentorship and curriculum design with pragmatic solution delivery. His early career in political campaigns and advocacy sharpened fundraising, coalition-building, and data-driven decision skills that he now applies to product strategy and complex integrations. A self-development–obsessed, life-hacking New Yorker with an affinity for the underdog, he excels at turning ambiguous requirements into scalable systems that onboard teams and customers efficiently.
