Summary
Sam Poirier is a systems programmer with a decade of experience building .NET web applications, game-related tooling, and backend systems from Leeds, UK. He combines professional roles at Weaseltron and PwC with long-running community-driven game projects—most notably deep technical work on Terraria mods, launchers, and a large-scale MMORPG overhaul. Comfortable leading small agile teams, Sam has acted as technical lead and architect, delivering client-facing solutions, CI-enabled launchers, and productivity tools on Google Cloud. His QA testing stint at Re-Logic and hands-on modding work give him an uncommon blend of player-focused testing discipline and engine-level code familiarity. He holds a First Class Computer Science degree from the University of Leeds and balances commercial systems work with indie projects and community engagement outside office hours.
