Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Chan is a software engineer based in Seattle with eight years of experience and a four-plus year tenure at Amazon building production services and internal tooling. He has a strong full-stack background—shipping React/Redux front-ends and Node.js back-ends integrated with AWS (API Gateway, Lambda, CloudFormation, DynamoDB)—and a track record of turning manual workflows into centralized tools used by multiple teams. Early roles at Garmin, G2, and Johns Hopkins APL strengthened his DevOps, CI/CD, and automation skills, including Jenkins/OpenStack integrations and test automation frameworks. Sam combines pragmatic engineering with a focus on developer efficiency, having designed systems that reduced cross-team friction and reclaimed engineering time. He’s comfortable across languages and environments (Python, Java, JS/TS, Linux/Windows) and brings an engineer’s curiosity—evident from internships that ranged from telemetry parsing for space hardware to pentesting toolchains.
