Sam Getlan is a full-stack software engineer with eight years of experience building modular, scalable web applications and APIs, currently contributing at Google from Boulder, Colorado. He specializes in Node.js/Express backends with Postgres, MongoDB, Redis and AWS, and crafts user-focused front ends using React/Redux and Angular. A proven communicator and mentor (former lead TA at Hack Reactor), he pairs hands-on engineering with a pragmatic, testable approach to solving real-world problems. Outside of code he’s often recharging in nature—beaches, mountains, or deep woods—which informs a balanced, persistent problem-solving style that favors the right tool for the job.
