Samer Kozrosh
I build the platform pieces other teams at ADP build on: code generators, APIs, and the docs that explain them. On my own time I shipped a multiplayer soccer game and I'm building software that keeps hospital EEG studies from failing. I've been coding since I was 13.
A few things I've built
A one-minute query, now ten seconds
A raw SQL query in the payroll app took over a minute. I moved the logic into Go and rewrote the joins; it now averages ten seconds.
type CompanySetup {id: ID!companyId: ID!legalName: String!occurredAt: DateTime!}docs/company-setup.md ✓ written
150+ payroll events, generated
Partner developers build on ADP payroll through GraphQL. I wrote the Go generator that exposes over 150 events, from company setup to payroll runs, and writes their docs. It cut about 70% of the team's hand-written work.

EEG studies that don't have to restart
A 72-hour EEG is ruined if a battery dies or an electrode slips. EpicareAlert watches the patient-side system and alerts staff instantly, with hourly screenshots for the record. HIPAA-compliant, with a 400% increase in protected billable revenue.
A game, built solo
I did the gameplay, netcode, backend, UI, and art direction myself.

When I'm not writing code, I'm on a mountain somewhere. Snowboarding is how I switch off.
