Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Jansen is a Director of Software based in Cambridge with 15 years of experience bridging low-level Unix systems and high-level Windows application development, with deep expertise in C and C++. He holds a PhD in Computer Science where he researched TCP simulation and dug into Linux and BSD kernel network stacks, which informs his practical work on TCP implementations and protocol design. Sam has held leadership and founder roles—most recently founding Avos and now directing software at Neat—while previously shaping endpoint R&D and platform engineering at StarLeaf and Google. He combines research-grade understanding of networking with production experience in codecs, multi-threaded systems, and client/server architectures across heterogeneous environments. Colleagues would point to his rare mix of kernel-level insight and product-oriented delivery as the reason he can both design robust protocols and shepherd them into shipping products.
