Summary
Sammy Krieger is a Senior Developer Programs Engineer at Google with 13 years of experience building developer-facing tooling and platform services. He moved up through developer programs roles since 2018 and brings practical backend expertise from prior positions as a Node.js platform engineer and performance analyst at Lifion by ADP. Sammy combines hands-on systems work—profiling, load testing, and even porting Node.js logic to native C++—with a knack for developer education and programmatic enablement. His background includes full SDLC experience in Ruby on Rails, Java web services, and low-level systems teaching, reflecting both product and academic rigor. Based in Seattle, he pairs a cognitive science BA/Sc from McGill with a computer science BSc from UBC, an unusual mix that informs his user-focused approach to tooling. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic engineer who translates performance research into repeatable processes that scale across teams.
