Hey, I'm Sam 👋 — a #software-engineer working on #ai-pipelines, #backend and the #cloud-infra that ships them.

For the past year and a half that's meant one AI platform, end to end: the video-generation pipeline, the APIs around it, the billing, the GPU workers, and the deploys.

I write Python most days, C# and TypeScript when the problem calls for it. What I actually optimize for is failure:

• A provider dying mid-render shouldn't lose the job.
• A refund should go back exactly where the money came from.
• A deploy should never drop a request.
• Most of my work is making those sentences stay true.

I got into software through game development — years of Unity and VR/AR — and I still think in frame budgets and edge cases.

👀 Two from the top of the pile — the rest live in #work.
