Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Potter is a software engineer in Austin with eight years of experience blending a mechanical engineering foundation with production Python development for science-driven businesses. He designs and ships tools that prepare and analyze R&D data—ranging from desktop Qt apps to Flask-backed web services—while applying the scientific Python stack and pragmatic performance tuning. At Indeed and Enthought he improved system throughput and latency, led technical direction in agile teams, and partnered with data scientists to operationalize ML workflows. His background in experimental device design and imaging pipelines gives him a rare hands-on perspective on end-to-end data problems, from instrumentation to model deployment. Currently expanding into frontend (React) and deployment (Docker, AWS), he brings a maker’s instinct—sparked by a garage trebuchet—to systematic, measurable product improvements.
