Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Vitello is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with 11 years of hands-on experience building full-stack systems, particularly in Python and React/Redux, and a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Oregon. He has co-founded and led engineering at startups (DFSForecast) and shipped core components for blockchain and fintech platforms at Paxos and Kleros, blending low-level ledger work with customer-facing interfaces. Comfortable across stacks, Sam moves between architecting distributed systems and shipping product-focused front ends, and he now leads technology at FTN. Beyond engineering, he brings an entrepreneurial mindset and a curiosity for emerging domains like blockchain and financial markets, plus an offbeat interest in scuba diving that reflects a disciplined, exploratory approach to problem solving.
