Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Dudley is a versatile software engineer with 11 years of experience and over six years in leadership, blending backend engineering, full-stack development, and hands-on project management. He has modernized SPAs, built performant microservices and ETL pipelines using BigQuery, Pub/Sub, dbt, and PostgreSQL, and improved client performance by reducing bundle sizes and accelerating aggregate queries by 1,000x with materialized views. Comfortable across languages from Python to C++ and with unmanned-systems tooling, he contributes to notable open-source projects like ArduPilot’s MAVProxy, enhancing ground-station UX and extensibility. Samuel pairs technical depth with practical delivery—establishing CI workflows, SOC 2–aligned practices, and documented deployments—while drawing creativity from a background in industrial design and a side career as a private chef. He’s equally likely to be debugging legacy G-code or hunting the Bay Area’s best noodles, bringing a maker’s curiosity to system design and optimizations.
