Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Pegler is a Principal Software Engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building scalable, highly automated web and infrastructure platforms. He combines deep Linux and HTTP expertise with a passion for Python (notably Flask), containerization and orchestration—having built PaaS solutions with Docker and Mesos and operated services across AWS and Google Compute Engine. Sam has led SRE teams that scaled platforms to a million requests per second and designed data pipelines processing tens of billions of events daily, while driving cultural change toward testing, CI/CD and ChatOps to surface monitoring and deployment into day-to-day workflows. Known for making code “pretty” and practical, he focuses on reproducible, cost-efficient architectures and pragmatic trade-offs between availability and consistency. Off the clock he’s the sort of engineer who will happily argue that bread is the best carb, a small sign of his grounded, human approach to technical leadership.
