Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Lair is a senior software engineer with a decade of experience building cloud-native, data-integrity focused backends for large government programs, currently contributing to ELIS2 at USCIS and modernizing DoD procurement systems. He specializes in Java/Spring ecosystems, Hibernate, relational databases (Oracle, PostgreSQL), and pragmatic migration strategies that turn monoliths into maintainable microservices while preserving ACID guarantees. Samuel moves quickly from MVP to production—shipping Spring Boot and Express implementations within weeks—and elevates team practices through coding standards, automated testing, and CI/CD in AWS. He pairs a strong engineering foundation (M.S. in ECE from Georgia Tech) with hands-on frontend work (AngularJS→React) and operational duties like build/release captain and incident troubleshooting. Notably, he has a track record of rescuing breached systems and delivering humanitarian-impact features (e.g., Uniting for Ukraine) that demonstrate both technical depth and mission-driven outcomes.
