Summary
Samson Ye is a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 8 years of experience building end-to-end systems across startups and scale-ups, currently shipping features at Grab. He combines strong CS fundamentals (SUTD, magna cum laude) and dual specializations in Security and AI with hands-on experience in cloud migrations, DevOps, and payment platforms on AWS and Google Cloud. As an early employee and tech lead at Vara and Lumitics, he built payment and data-visualization systems that processed millions in transactions and supported hundreds of thousands of MSMEs, and led teams through product-focused agile practices. He founded a startup and served as sole cloud/dev-ops engineer early in his career, evidence of his comfort owning infrastructure and full delivery lifecycles. Samson pairs a maker’s curiosity—instilled by hands-on build projects since childhood—with pragmatic, metrics-driven outcomes, such as a Grab project that delivered an estimated $1.65M savings in six months.
