Sam Zamor / Design, build, automate
Ideas are cheap. Shipped products aren't.
I turn ambitious product ideas into working software, from interface and design system through front-end delivery and automation.
About
“I'd rather cut a feature than explain it.”
- 01
End to end (what I do)
I design the interface, build the front-end, and lately the tooling behind it. No design-to-dev handoff, because I'm usually both.
- 02
Earned taste (why trust me)
Twenty-five years of shipping means I've made most of the mistakes already. The strong opinions I hold now are just the ones that survived being wrong.
- 03
Built for here (why me)
I build for a place, not a persona. Great internet, mediocre local tools, so I make a few of them myself.

How I actually work
No framework. Just the loop I run most weeks, and where it usually humbles me.

Got a weird one?
