Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamantha Cohen is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building reliable, scalable systems and guiding architecture across fintech and consumer platforms. She combines hands-on backend work—illustrated by contributions to NuKeeper, a .NET tool that automates NuGet updates—with leadership roles at OVO, Cazoo and Accurx where she coached engineers and shaped cross-team architecture. Comfortable across languages and clouds (C#, F#, Java, Python, Rust, AWS/Azure), she moves between ambitious side projects like designing a programming language and pragmatic hardware experiments with servo motors. A former consultant, she excels at delivering value in challenging client environments and improving code quality through refactoring, DI integration and test coverage. Based in Stony Stratford, Samantha pairs a physics master's background with a curiosity-driven approach that turns open questions into production-ready solutions.
