Top SchoolSamuel Fu is a Co-Founder and seasoned software engineer with a decade of experience building high-scale, production systems and now focusing on AI-enabled customs brokerage and supply-chain automation. He previously engineered distributed datastores and caching at Netflix (helping systems handle 1B+ req/s and authoring two patents) and shipped real-time pricing and forecasting features at Lyft.
