Summary
Samer Masterson is a Prompt Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 13 years of software engineering experience building high-throughput, cost-efficient infrastructure. He previously designed and implemented Google Search tracing and ingestion systems that process hundreds of millions of requests per day and saved roughly $400k/year through architectural improvements. At Dropbox he led cross-cutting projects that cut client crash rates nearly in half and improved web rendering performance at tens of millions of requests per day, while also automating large-scale code migrations. Comfortable across C++, Go, protobufs, Spanner, and large distributed systems, he blends deep systems engineering with pragmatic rollout and operational experience. Now at Harvey, he focuses on prompt engineering informed by a track record of shipping production services under tight deadlines and deleting tens of thousands of lines of dead code to simplify systems. An early hacker-school alumnus and builder of language tooling and compilers, he brings a curiosity for low-level systems and tooling to applied ML workflows.
