Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Winslow is a software engineer and consultant with 11 years of experience building front- and full-stack products for startups and small businesses across aviation, music, and live events. He has shipped UI-first work at scale—contributing React components and UX fixes to notable open-source projects like PostHog—and led product development for music royalty platforms and flight-school tools. Pragmatic and safety-minded, Sam is pivoting toward professional aviation while remaining available for part-time software contracts. His background blends hands-on engineering (React, TypeScript, Python) with founder- and advisor-level responsibility, so he balances speed-to-market with thoughtful system design. Comfortable across web, mobile, and CLI tooling, he’s particularly effective turning ambiguous early-stage requirements into reliable shipping features. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he brings startup grit, aviation-focused diligence, and an unusual attention to process that grew from both barista training and leading small cross-functional teams.
