Summary
Samuel Santos is a Lead Engineer and seasoned software architect with over a decade of hands-on experience designing cloud-native, scalable systems across AWS and Azure. He has driven large migrations and modernizations—applying patterns like CQRS, event sourcing and the strangler fig—to transform monoliths into resilient microservices and serverless platforms. Samuel blends deep backend expertise in C#/.NET and databases (CosmosDB, SQL Server) with pragmatic DevOps leadership, having built CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Bicep/CloudFormation) and automated deployment workflows. He’s led cross-disciplinary teams in banking and fintech contexts, most recently shaping cloud architecture for LendUs and now Commonwealth Bank in Sydney. Beyond architecture, he teaches and mentors, translating complex technical trade-offs into business value and developer-friendly practices. A lifelong builder with an Executive MBA in Solutions Architecture, he pairs technical depth with strategic thinking to deliver durable, cost-effective solutions.
