Top SchoolSam Park is a Senior Software Engineer in Seattle with 14 years building scalable systems across startups and large platforms, currently focused on developer experience and infrastructure at Grow Therapy. He has led major CI/CD modernizations at Discord—migrating fleets to containers and GKE, standardizing developer environments, and adding observability to speed debugging—and previously drove backend and infra work as a Staff Engineer at GoodRx. His background spans embedded and robotics work at Northrop Grumman and Amazon’s Prime Air to high-throughput ad systems and real-time bidding, giving him deep systems, DevOps, and performance tuning chops across C/C++, Go, Python, Rust, Kubernetes, and cloud tooling. An active open-source contributor, he has added gameplay, UI, and rendering improvements to the well-known Daggerfall Unity recreation and polished UX for Cucumber reporting, showing attention to both low-level systems and user-facing polish. Colleagues rely on him to reduce operational complexity and connectivity issues while delivering playful, practical prototypes—he even prototyped VTuber pose-estimation and a Wumpus motion engine during hack weeks. Sam pairs a CS/CE foundation with a pragmatic, fun-minded approach to improving developer and production experiences.
