Hey, I'm Samuel.

Software Engineer

Open to work·--:--

I build web and mobile apps, from thoughtful interfaces to the backend systems that power them.

About

I'm Samuel. I build web and mobile apps with TypeScript, usually starting with a problem I want to solve.

I'm interested in the parts of software that take more thought than they seem to: making an app work without a reliable connection, turning a slow request into a fast one, or making an interface feel simpler without stripping away what makes it useful.

I've built Melo, a chat app that translates conversations between people speaking different languages; Chop Iron, an offline-first workout tracker; DropEnv, an encrypted environment-variable sharing tool; and VaultX, an API for sharing temporary snippets between devices. Most began as small problems I wanted to solve for myself.

I'm looking for software engineering opportunities where I can solve meaningful problems, learn from good engineers, and ship products people find useful. If that sounds like a fit, my email is at the bottom of the page.
