Hi! 👋

I'm Sam, I love coding and all things geek 🤓.

For over 20 years, I’ve built complex, high-performance platforms for fintech, media, and enterprise clients including the Financial Times, McKinsey, Lloyds Banking Group and boutique software consultancies like Equal Experts, 101 Ways and NearForm.

My background spans trading systems, analytics, and large-scale distributed architectures using TypeScript, Node.js, Python, React, GraphQL, Kafka, Redis, and Postgres.

I’ve served as a senior consultant, interim CTO, and technical advisor, helping companies scale fast, manage complexity, and deliver reliable systems that align with business goals.

My interests include functional programming, popular science 🧪, space 🚀, finance 📈, cryptocurrencies ₿ and AI 🧠.

The nerdy bit 🤓
