Hi, I’m Chris Samios.

I’ve spent twenty years building software, mostly in small teams, occasionally for very large ones. I live in Melbourne, Australia. This site is where my projects and, before long, some writing live.

Availability

My day job, and my focus, is with Infonyx, so I’m not taking on outside work at the moment. If you’d like to work with me, Infonyx is the place to get in touch.

About

The name describes how I work. Most projects need one of two postures, and the best ones move between both at the right times.

Ruckus

Fast, divergent, exploratory.

Prototypes, spikes, scrappy discovery, blue-sky options. Useful when I need to learn quickly or validate an idea before committing further.

Repose

Methodical, convergent, considered.

Strategy, architecture, longer builds, steady delivery. Useful when the goal is clear and the work needs to land without surprises.

Knowing which mode a problem needs is half the job. The other half is running it well.

My background runs across full-stack web, native apps, cloud and devops, integrations, and the small, opinionated tools that live alongside them. I’ve shipped products that lasted, and a few that didn’t. I lean towards sustainable, inclusive practice and against hype.

Email

Email is best, and short emails are best of all. I’ll come back within a few business days; my hours run AEST.

My code lives on GitHub, and I’m on LinkedIn. Everything else, email.
