Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Luu is a Senior Engineer based in London with a decade-plus career focused on backend systems, specialising in Go and Python and a strong background in C++ from financial data systems. He has driven payments, subscription and PKI projects, built streaming and caching solutions using Kafka and Redis, and led migrations from legacy Ruby stacks to modern providers and CI tooling (CircleCI → GitHub Actions). Sam excels at turning operational pain points into self-serve services—reducing manual handoffs for provider onboarding and automating entitlement caching invalidation for real-time consistency. He combines deep protocol and standards knowledge (RFCs, PKI, FIX) with hands-on product delivery across fintech, e-commerce and security domains. Colleagues rely on him for code quality and knowledge transfer: he’s rebuilt team domain expertise, authored test plans and refactored systems for local development and scale. Outside the obvious tech stack, he has a track record of extracting structured data from messy inputs (DOM traversal for AI-formatted text) that highlights a practical appetite for solving hard engineering edge cases.
