Sam Jesso is a results-driven Director of Engineering with 11 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native, high-availability systems and developer workflows from Fredericton, New Brunswick. He has repeatedly reduced operational friction and cycle time—most notably driving a trunk-based CD pipeline that increased deployments from twice weekly to 100+ while cutting lead time by 83%—and built automation that turned thousands of manual integration hours into a fraction of the effort. At AWS he led zero-touch region provisioning and ran a critical license-management service at >99.95% availability; at Cvent he delivered highly available reporting and a browser-based video editor. Sam blends strategic leadership with hands-on engineering, focusing on developer experience and observability to scale safe, autonomous teams. He brings a practical, results-oriented approach informed by early systems and communications work in the Canadian Forces.
