I'am
Samuel Johnson
Software Engineer & Technical Leader
I specialize in designing clean, efficient solutions across the full stack, with a strong focus on backend architecture, system performance, and clean code practices. I’m currently exploring new opportunities where I can contribute my expertise, collaborate with high-performing teams, and continue growing as a technology professional.
About Me
I’m a software solutions architect with over 12 years of experience building scalable, efficient, and reliable software solutions across web, mobile, and cloud platforms. My passion lies in transforming complex business needs into simple, practical technology solutions that last.
I’ve worked with startups and enterprises in Canada and offshore (India), building cross-functional teams, designing cloud-native architectures, and managing the full product lifecycle from idea to launch and scale. I specialize in cloud technologies, especially AWS, Azure, and GCP, and have helped companies reduce infrastructure costs, boost performance, and build fault-tolerant, high-availability systems.
My Journey
My tech journey started with a degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Kerala, followed by an MS in Computer Science from the State University of New York. Over the years, I’ve worked on projects ranging from mobile banking systems and event CRMs to nationwide coaching and staffing platforms.
I’ve led tech teams across continents, collaborated with North American startups for over a decade, and architected solutions that manage high-traffic loads—handling up to 5000 sustained requests per second. Along the way, I’ve worn many hats—developer, solutions architect, team leader, and tech strategist.
Technical & Domain Expertise
I’ve not only built tech for startups—I’ve helped create them. As a founder and technical co-creator, I’ve guided multiple products from scratch, helping early-stage companies define their MVPs, build scalable platforms, and hire the right teams.
Working with startups across Canada, the U.S., and India, I’ve architected full systems, led development teams, and provided long-term support. I understand the hustle, the uncertainty, and the need for speed—and I bring that mindset into every startup project I take on.
STARTUP FOUNDER AND STARTUP EXPERIENCE
STARTUP SUPPORT
To help more founders, I’ve created a dedicated technology tier for startups. This offering is tailored to support MVPs, early prototypes, and scale-ready applications with:
- MVP strategy and system design
- Cloud cost planning
- Offshore team setup and management
- Scalable architecture using AWS, Azure, or GCP
One such initiative is my involvement with the Koffmann Incubator, where I actively support early-stage companies by offering fractional CTO guidance and helping turn their ideas into tangible, tech-driven businesses.
