Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Phomsopha is a seasoned engineering leader with over 17 years of technical experience and a decade of people-management focused on building high-performing, empowered teams. As Sr. Director of Engineering at Whip Media Group (and TV Time), he blends hands-on architecture skills—especially cloud-native AWS deployments and PHP/Javascript stacks—with a servant-leader approach that removes friction so engineers can ship. Sam has led large migrations and high-impact product launches, from moving streaming and subscription platforms to improving order processing performance by up to 70%, to launching multi-million monthly-user sites on AWS. He excels at recruiting and scaling teams, translating product needs into reliable systems using Laravel/Kohana, Redis, Memcache, MySQL/MongoDB and CDNs like Akamai. Beyond obvious technical breadth, he has a track record of re-architecting legacy platforms into modern, cost- and performance-optimized systems that directly grew revenue and reduced operational costs. Based in Seal Beach, CA, he pairs pragmatic engineering judgment with a coach-first management style that accelerates both product delivery and individual career growth.
