Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSam De Roeck is a Software Engineer with eight years of experience building high-performance distributed systems, currently working at Meta after principal and senior engineering roles at SingleStore, M10 Networks, and Western Digital. He brings deep systems and database expertise across Rust, C++, Python, and Go, with notable open-source contributions to Aleo's snarkOS where he improved metrics, RPC types, and Docker setups for a decentralized ZK application platform. A Ghent University MSc in Engineering grounds his applied research mindset, and he excels at refactoring for observability and maintainability in complex back-end codebases. Based in San Francisco, Sam pairs protocol-level thinking about consensus and databases with pragmatic performance engineering, and off-hours he’s as likely to be found cycling or assembling an artisanal charcuterie board.
