Sam Carrington
I scale platforms, teams, and reliability — turning ambiguous problems into systems that ship.
Principal Engineer with 25+ years building and leading high-performing teams across banking, consumer products, hospitality, sport. I care about building durable cloud-native solutions to meet human needs, and leading engineers who grow faster than the org chart.
