Sam Reed
Chief Technology Officer, Identify.com
Sam is the CTO at Identify.com, a software firm specializing in trademark and brand protection. He began his career in middle school as a freelance web programmer. After an 'it's-complicated' relationship with government contracting he was first employee at a few startups and CTO of Tixelated.com. He also runs Securesha.re, an open-source encrypted file sharing service.
Sam builds applications with NodeJS, Polymer, Backbone, Angular, and whatever is at the top of Hacker News this week. He is finally learning ClojureScript. Honest.
He can be found wherever Javascript is discussed and beer is plenty, especially at the Hong Kong Web Development meetups, giving a soliloquy about how some terrible JavaScript framework stole years of his youth. If you wear a NodeJS t-shirt he will slap you on the back and buy you a drink.
