About
Hi, I’m Sam Goldmann — a software engineer with a deep focus on software architecture, infrastructure, and the systems that tie them together.
I specialize in:
- Software architecture and system design
- Distributed microservices and event-driven systems
- Cloud-native platforms built with ASP.NET Core and Azure
- DevOps automation using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and Docker
- Secure authentication flows in multi-tenant environments
- Developer experience tooling, from CI pipelines to intelligent agents
My technical work blends structured engineering with a human-centered approach. I believe good architecture is not just scalable — it’s understandable, maintainable, and ethical.
What You’ll Find Here
This blog is a space where I share:
- Practical solutions to real-world engineering challenges
- Patterns for resilient distributed systems and API design
- Explorations of automation, testing strategies, and release workflows
- Reflections on how engineering intersects with ethics, parenting, and growth
But more than that, it’s also a journal of personal growth. Much of my evolution as a technologist has been shaped by my experiences as a father, and by working through grief, reflection, and change. This is a space where I try to honor the complexity of building systems and raising children, both of which require patience, clarity, and the courage to learn from mistakes.
Beyond the Code
I’m a father, a systems thinker, and someone who believes that the way we build matters as much as what we build. I’ve grown immensely through loss — and through rebuilding. My engineering principles are deeply connected to my values as a parent and as a person who strives to move forward with integrity.
This blog reflects both the technical disciplines I practice — and the lived experiences that continue to shape who I am.
Let’s build something worthwhile.
