Overview
I’m Sam Sycamore, a writer and software engineer with over twelve years of professional experience across multiple industries. I provide technical writing, editorial, and developer advocacy services to technology companies and digital product agencies.
This portfolio gathers highlights from across my career, with an emphasis on my work in the software industry since 2020.
Technical skills
Section titled “Technical skills”My specialty as a software engineer is front-end web development, mostly with React and JavaScript / TypeScript. I consider myself a design engineer—someone who can write code, but who also has a deep understanding of UI and UX design principles. I’m always tinkering with new developer tools, libraries, and frameworks to build and deploy web apps. I’ve also written extensively on topics related to networking, cloud computing, observability, and cybersecurity.
Personal life
Section titled “Personal life”I currently live in the Inland Northwest USA with my partner and our two dogs. I enjoy trail running, carpentry, camping, and making music in my free time. I’m an avid reader—some of my favorite authors include Cormac McCarthy, László Krasznahorkai, and Jon Fosse.
