Sam is a marketing expert turned self-taught product engineer. Sam has been devoted to startups, helping raise 80+ million in startup funds throughout his early career. Initially working as a tech lead in the marketing space, he turned to software development to be more closely involved in product growth. Audiences love this perspective of Sam's: a customer's confidence in a product resonates with the product team’s confidence in the technology. As an advocate for innovative technologies, he hopes his message encourages product managers to adopt new, cutting-edge technologies into their tech stacks to improve developer experience. To Sam, life is a balance. If his health permitted him to code all day, he would be tempted to do it. Alas, Sam finds a balance to coding with many activities including mountain biking, alpine ski racing, dancing, and sailing the ocean blues.
