Speaker: Samuel Parkinson

Sam is a Principal Engineer at the Financial Times, supporting the development of FT.com and the mobile apps. Previously he’s worked at Graze, a start-up that sends snacks through the post. Working in the industry for six years as a software engineer, he’s also spent time on the operational side as an integration engineer.
