Summary
Sam Finan is a pragmatic CTO with nine years of hands-on experience building high-throughput real-time applications and scalable microservice backends, currently leading technology at InVintory from Toronto. He has progressed from full-stack engineering and consultancy to platform and authentication leadership roles, designing OIDC SSO and a custom hierarchical authorization system for multi-unit venue management. Comfortable across Go, Node.js, React, gRPC, Kubernetes and cloud platforms, he has delivered production systems for sports/betting, VR, and enterprise microservices. Sam pairs architect-level decision making with day-to-day engineering—having personally implemented on‑prem Kubernetes platforms and billing/metrics aggregators—so he still ships code while guiding teams.
