Top SchoolSam Wight is a senior full-stack software engineer based in Chicago with 11 years of engineering experience and a six-year focus on scaling web applications and APIs. He brings deep expertise in web performance, SEO, and accessibility, and has shipped production systems across Ruby, Elixir, C#, TypeScript, React, Vue, Svelte, and occasional Rust and Go. At Amazon/One Medical he delivered an AI documentation assistant used in 250K+ visits and built a GraphQL toolkit and automation that scaled developer productivity and patient-safety testing. He’s known for diagnosing performance bottlenecks and reducing operational overhead—examples include cutting manual QA from days to minutes and halving legacy CMS load times. An experienced remote collaborator and mentor, he also fosters engineering culture through initiatives like book clubs, internal wikis, and code ownership drives. Outside work he keeps a candid, self-deprecating public code footprint that reflects broad exploration across languages and prototypes.
