Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Deng is a Senior Principal Software Engineer with roughly 15 years of hands-on experience building full-stack systems and scaling product teams, currently driving architecture and delivery at Zillow. He blends startup grit—as a founding engineer at Airhouse—with enterprise-grade engineering from multi-year leadership at PBS and consulting engagements for clients like Visa and CBRE. Sam’s background in electrical engineering and early scientific programming at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory give him a strong systems mindset that informs both infrastructure and front-end decisions. Known for pairing practical shipping velocity with mentorship, he repeatedly moves teams from prototype to production across seed-stage and large-company contexts. Based in Spokane, Washington, he brings a curiosity-driven approach and an appetite for solving cross-disciplinary technical challenges that aren’t obvious from a job title alone.
