Summary
👤
SeniorSam Blackman is a founder-led technology executive and inventor with 12+ years building product-led startups and platforms that apply ML and AI to real-world business problems. He co-founded and served as CTO of Nuvocargo, scaling AI-native freight and customs software into a market-leading North American platform backed by top-tier investors, and now advises and continues to launch ventures across the US and Aotearoa. His background spans shipping logistics, regulatory automation (Ascent), and consumer-facing property tech (Common), complemented by hands-on engineering teaching at Dev Bootcamp where he trained 500+ full‑stack engineers. Unusually for a technologist, he pairs a deep technical practice—20+ years coding across Python, Ruby and JavaScript—with formal legal training (LLB Hons, LLM) and recent scholarship at Harvard, enabling him to translate complex regulatory and product constraints into scalable software.
