Sam Byford

Software Engineer

Welcome

Hi, I’m Sam, a Software Engineer currently employed as a .NET Developer at RedCentric, one of the UK’s largest managed service providers. With 6 years of industry experience, I have gained a wide array of skills in various technologies and languages, with my most detailed experience coming from utilising C# with .NET and Azure, as well as previous exposure to both JavaScript and TypeScript through the Angular framework. 

I studied computer science at The University of Lincoln, where I was awarded a First Class Honours classification. My dissertation project, based around developing a web application to prioritise COVID-19 vaccinations, can be found on the Projects page. 

Straight after university, I joined IAR Systems as a Software Engineer, where I remained for two years working on various .NET and Angular projects. In 2023, I moved on to Redcentric, where I have been focusing on .NET for Azure. I am also currently studying for the AZ-204 Azure Developer Associate certification. For more about me, including my qualifications, full list of programming experience and route into computer science, visit the About page.
