We have helped companies launch, scale, and succeed.
"One of the things that makes Sam amazing is his communication style. It's rare to find someone with the right balance of enthusiasm, knowledge, curiosity, and the ability to clearly communicate all of that. Seriously, if you get the opportunity to work with him, do it. Your company will benefit, as will your customers."
Marni Nispel
Senior Technical Writer at AMD
"Sam’s eye for detail was another thing that set him apart. As a designer, I always appreciated his commitment to getting the little things right, whether it was a subtle interaction, a tricky layout, or ensuring the user experience felt polished. He took the time to ask the right questions and pushed for thoughtful solutions instead of quick fixes."
Alborz Heydaryan
Product Designer at Crowdbotics
"In early 2018, Samuel approached my restaurant about the provision of a POS system. Although I had another provider, I was interested in hearing more because he was convincing and knowledgeable about the solution he had in mind. Over the course of many visits, we went through my specific requirements and the customization of the software to fit my business’ needs. Samuel went above and beyond to tailor the system to my satisfaction, which we have been using since May. 2018."

Why Velocity Architecture?
