Top SchoolSam Mccaffrey is a Senior Data Engineer with a decade of experience building scalable data platforms, APIs, and analytics products across startups and large tech companies.

A repeat founding engineer and founder of Synapse, he focuses on simplifying the data stack and building the tools he wished existed, blending product sensibility with deep technical ownership.
