He\u2019ll be joining the product team as a Senior Developer.<\/p>\n<h2>Welcome Sam to the team!<\/h2>\n<p>Sam has quite the list of places he\u2019s called home. He grew up Chattanooga, Tennessee, but headed to New Orleans to attend college at Loyola New Orleans. He studied film there and worked on various film production jobs for sporting events, documentaries, and feature films.<\/p>\n<p>After college, Sam moved to Chicago to pursue a career in design and motion graphics, and ended up getting a job almost immediately at a design firm. After becoming enamored by the development side of things, he left design behind in pursuit of programming. He spent the next four years consulting in Chicago for various firms, working first with PHP and shortly thereafter with Ruby on Rails.<\/p>\n<p>Making his next move, Sam took a position at Collabnet in San Francisco. He worked with a small team of designers and developers on a new SaaS platform, which they built from scratch. After this, he moved onto a position at Yammer, where he was responsible for their central API\u2014adding features, fixing issues, and improving the overall codebase.<\/p>\n<p>With the ability to work remotely at his previous role (and now at Litmus!), Sam visited his wife\u2019s home country of Ecuador and loved it\u2014and decided to move and work from there. He\u2019s currently based there\u2014and is now working as a Senior Developer at Litmus.<\/p>\n<p>Sam had been aware of Litmus for many years\u2014and even used our tools during his design days! Since starting, he\u2019s been involved in a handful of projects, including improvements to&nbsp;<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/litmus.com\/scope?utm_campaign=staff?utm_source=litmusblog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Scope<\/a>&nbsp;and some major product enhancements (we\u2019ll tell you about them soon!). Despite only being here a few weeks, Sam already feels like part of the Litmus family and said \u201ceveryone is so friendly and easygoing, and always glad to lend a hand when needed. The work is challenging, yet rewarding, always interesting, and there is always something to be learned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he\u2019s not moving or geeking out over programming, you can find Sam listening or jamming out to music. He\u2019s been singing since he was 6 and playing the guitar and drums since he was 12. While he has a soft spot for the blues, he loves music from just about any genre\u2014including punk rock, which he\u2019s never quite grown out of.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprising due to all of his moves, Sam also loves traveling. He and his wife are currently planning a trip through South America in the near future. Sam also loves pizza and has to try it everywhere he visits.<\/p>\n<p>Join us in welcoming Sam to the Litmus team!<\/p>\n<h2>JOIN SAM ON THE LITMUS TEAM<\/h2>\n<p>Between catered lunches, top notch equipment, 28 vacation days, and so much more, Litmus is a great place to work.
