Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSam Hurst is a full stack engineer with five years of hands-on experience building and scaling web applications using TypeScript, React, Node.js, PHP and Postgres across cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. He currently contributes to a fan engagement platform at Planet, focusing on feature delivery, performance, and UI consistency within a modern GraphQL/TypeScript codebase. Previously at REACH he led major upgrades, API development, and PWA work while driving architecture decisions, cloud monitoring, and automation with Python. Self-taught and outgoing, Sam pairs practical bug-fixing and refactoring discipline with an appetite for learning new patterns and libraries such as ShadCN. Beyond web apps he has contributed embedded USB-C power delivery work to the Zephyr RTOS, showing uncommon low-level systems fluency for a web-focused engineer. Based in the UK, he blends product-minded collaboration with a track record of shipping reliable, maintainable software.
