Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamantha Dickeson is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with 8 years of experience building high-scale, event-driven systems and full-stack applications using JavaScript/TypeScript, Node, React, and AWS serverless technologies. She helped architect and operate a microservice platform processing over a billion records daily, led frontend performance and developer-experience improvements, and migrated analytics pipelines to Aurora/Postgres for large-scale insights. A Founders and Coders alumna with a BSc in Psychology, she pairs data-driven thinking from her four years in data roles with practical engineering chops. Now at Gousto after a senior stint at NearSt, she is comfortable owning end-to-end systems and balancing product needs with operational reliability. An atypical strength is her background in education-data tooling and VBA/Access, which honed her ability to turn messy datasets into actionable reports and pragmatic engineering solutions.
