Summary
Sam Lamont is an environmental applications developer with eight years of experience building cloud-native, geospatially driven hydrologic models and decision-support systems for government, industry, and startups. He combines a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering with hands-on skills in Python, C#.NET, FORTRAN, ArcGIS, and HSPF to deliver large-scale flood forecasting, risk modeling, and model-coupling frameworks that run at national scales. At One Concern and Athenium he engineered cost- and performance-optimized runoff and inundation workflows, automated geospatial coupling pipelines, and operational forecasting systems using Kubernetes, Argo, and AWS. Comfortable translating complex hydrology into production software, he also has a track record of managing interdisciplinary projects, publishing tools like FACET, and integrating topobathymetric datasets to improve model fidelity. Based in New Jersey, he brings rare expertise at the intersection of hydrologic science, spatial data engineering, and scalable deployment.
