My name is Sam Thoyre. I live in Raleigh, NC, where I build things.
I'm a highly experienced web developer with a proven track record in managing and enhancing large-scale, internationalized websites. I'm skilled in developing new components and templates to support dynamic brands, and leading significant codebase migrations from Gatsby to Next.js to improve performance and scalability. I'm proficient in transitioning cloud hosting services to Vercel and migrating CRM connections from Eloqua to Salesforce, streamlining customer data management.
As UI Developer at Cisco's Emerging Technologies and Incubation department, now known as Outshift, I managed a diverse range of digital assets, including the Marketing site, Tech Blog, Research website, and the Design Partner Portal. I successfully developed and maintained multiple marketing websites for SaaS products, employing product-led growth strategies to expand user bases. I'm an expert in implementing growth marketing tools like Segment, Amplitude, and Google Tag Manager, enhancing data tracking and analytics capabilities.
At Charles & Covlvard, I maintained the website and managed the CMS and PHP backend systems, ensuring seamless operation and robust performance. I worked cross-functionally with various departments to bring projects to completion, implementing new features and resolving technical issues promptly.
