Summary
Samsher Sidhu is a Senior Software Engineer and platform builder with a decade of experience turning messy, high-stakes problems into human-centered, production-ready systems. A first-generation Sikh-American and University of Pittsburgh computer engineering graduate, he blends design thinking, storytelling, and engineering to create HIPAA-compliant AI pipelines and intuitive admin UIs that measurably improve outcomes—raising document extraction accuracy from 43% to 98.5% at MyCancerPlan. He’s shipped scalable AWS architectures supporting dozens of concurrent accounts, automated patient-provider matching, and dramatically reduced operational toil through pragmatic automation. Samsher’s background spans startups, defense research, and teaching, where he introduced Human-Centered Design into engineering workflows and mentored hundreds of students in prototyping. Outside work he channels the same discipline into endurance challenges like Ironman training, a personal thread that surfaces in his iterative, resilient approach to product and platform problems.
