Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Gorman is a founder and software engineer with 8 years of experience building product-focused startups and developer tools, currently leading Rivet to help designers fix production UI issues. With a Stanford background in Computer Science and Product Design, he blends deep ML/NLP knowledge from teaching Stanford workshops with hands-on product and design leadership at companies like Snorkel AI and Iris Co. He’s shipped full-stack products at scale—mobile apps, React web apps, and component libraries integrated across Figma and SwiftUI—and has repeatedly turned user research into rapid, iterated releases. Past startups he co-founded grew to tens of thousands of users and raised funding while delivering measurable impact (e.g., connecting 100k+ users to scholarships and distributing program funds). Comfortable moving between design, frontend engineering, and ML systems, he brings rare cross-disciplinary fluency that accelerates product development and reduces designer-developer friction.
