Summary
Sam Collins is a Managing Director and hands-on software engineer with 11 years’ experience building web and enterprise systems, currently running his own consultancy, Cyberbyte Software. He specializes in Python-driven backends, modern front-ends with React and TypeScript, and complex integrations for financial and advertising platforms, having migrated systems across Linode, AWS and GCP into Kubernetes. Sam combines technical delivery with people and project management—he has led and grown teams, run hiring programs, and managed client-facing planning and requirements. Notably comfortable with polyglot stacks (PHP, C#, even Clojure/Lisp), he prefers Python for rapid, readable development but adapts to the right tool for the job. Based in Maidstone, UK, he has deep experience turning legacy applications into scalable microservices and exposing unified GraphQL APIs for business-critical systems.
