Summary
Sam Frank is a pragmatic full‑stack software engineer with 12 years of experience building data‑driven product and platform features for growth and marketplaces, most recently applying reinforcement learning and classic ML to help earners optimize behavior at Uber and now working on RL at Anthropic. He focuses on solving the right problems by combining strong data, robust experimentation, and fast developer workflows, writing production services in Go and Python with React/Redux frontends. Comfortable across service architecture, compilers, and backend systems, he brings startup agility together with large‑scale product experience. Outside of work he’s a hobbyist hardware designer and synth enthusiast who applies the same engineering curiosity to cooking, fermenting, and jazz guitar—an indicator of a practical, maker‑oriented mindset that shows up in his approach to systems design.
