Samuel Collis-bird is a product-focused Senior Software Engineer with 11 years’ experience building full-stack TypeScript, Node and React applications across conversational AI, eCommerce and large-scale backup systems. He has a track record of shipping greenfield 0→1 projects, leading engineering pivots at fast-paced scale-ups, and integrating LLMs and AI into customer-facing products. Comfortable across design, project management and customer-facing roles, he often acts as the technical bridge between business stakeholders and delivery teams. Samuel has improved developer experience and introduced best practices at multiple companies, from CI/CD and TDD to new tooling and onboarding flows. Based in Sydney with a degree in Computer Science (AI) from UNSW, he pairs practical cloud experience (AWS/GCP, serverless) with a willingness to own whatever it takes to get ambitious products out the door. An understated strength: he repeatedly moves between solo-contributor prototyping and engineering leadership, making him effective at both rapid iteration and team scaling.
