Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Yallop is a Lead Engineer based in London with 9 years' experience building scalable, real-time distributed systems using Go, Kubernetes and event-driven architectures in Clojure and Kafka. He has progressed through engineering roles at Funding Circle after honing expertise at Pusher—where he improved observability, deployment velocity and long-lived connection platforms—and at Arcspire, where functional parsing and bloom-filter tuning drove a 6x throughput gain for an RTB system. Samuel explores distributed functional programming with Haskell, applying DSL and compiler techniques to production problems, which reflects a rare blend of practical systems engineering and language-driven design. He excels at reducing tail latency and improving backpressure and is comfortable leading teams while remaining hands-on in optimizing high-throughput, low-latency services.
