Sean Abraham is a Senior Principal Software Engineer with nine years of experience building reliable, testable systems across Google and VideoAmp, now based in Exeter, New Hampshire. He pairs deep backend expertise—demonstrated by hands-on Go test and security fixes in the popular goconvey project—with a pragmatic engineering leadership style that drives quality at scale. His career spans performance-sensitive advertising and large-scale search infrastructure, and he brings applied math and sustainability training from Queen's University to bear on complex system design. A former Googler, he balances production rigor with curious experimentation and is equally likely to be found debugging tricky test flakes as training for a long-distance run.
