Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Lawson is a pragmatic software engineer and architect with 13 years of experience building data-focused backend systems, ETL pipelines, and SaaS applications primarily using Python, PySpark, Flask/Django, and AWS. He has a strong track record in energy and finance domains—founding and leading engineering efforts for electricity market data platforms that improved compliance and reduced market risk—while also delivering performance gains through schema redesigns and partitioned parallel processing. Samuel bridges full-stack capabilities (React/TypeScript, Node) with heavy data tooling (MySQL, Cassandra, Elasticsearch) and a history of automating CI/CD and testing to speed feature delivery. Equally at home prototyping with C/C++ or integrating LLM agents, he often pairs technical rigor with creative problem-solving inspired by a parallel career in classical music. Based in Indianapolis, he values building experiences that deepen human connection—whether that’s consumer-facing web apps, clinical-trial tooling, or a small Python game written for his child.
