Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam King is a founder, software engineer, and designer with 11 years building product-led experiences at startups and in-house teams. He blends front-end engineering and product design—shipping UI components, dashboards, and design systems at companies like Deliveroo and Lyst—while also doing hands-on engineering work for small teams and freelance clients. More recently he’s been teaching himself blockchain development (Solidity) and turning that curiosity into freelance projects and creative web3 experiments. Sam now runs Refrakt, a platform aimed at helping photographers share work beyond social vanity metrics, combining product empathy with a designer’s eye for meaningful interactions. Based in Vancouver, he favors small, cross-functional teams where he can span design and code end-to-end, and brings an entrepreneur’s focus on shipping simple, useful tools. Notably, his background includes co-founding a design studio and contributing frontend engineering to marketing and internal tooling—skills that help him bridge aesthetic thinking with pragmatic implementation.
