Summary
Samuel Mace is a software developer with a decade of hands-on experience spanning software engineering and DevOps, currently building cloud-native systems at Sentry. He has practical platform engineering experience from SECURA Insurance, where he created reusable GitHub Actions, led repo migrations, and prototyped an on-prem GitHub Actions Runner Controller using Kubernetes. Samuel pairs backend development skills (C#, .NET, Java) with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and containerization, enabling smoother CI/CD and cross-environment deployments. He’s comfortable working across time zones and cultures—evidenced by a mobile app localization project collaborating with global teams in both synchronous and async modes. Open to international relocation, especially in East Asia, he brings a blend of enterprise experience and startup agility informed by academic study in computer science. Less obvious: he has repeatedly stepped into operational gaps (preparing staging and deploy environments) to keep projects moving when teammates were unavailable.
