  • Hi, I’m Rob.

    I’m a software developer by trade, a trustworthy partner to small businesses for technical operations and advice. I combine solid expertise with deep systemic understanding and discerning judgment.

    I develop a deep understanding of my clients’ needs, and then I fix their problems with the judgment and independence they’d expect from a trusted employee or cofounder so they can get back to doing what they do best.

    When I bring them important questions, I do so in clear language, not nerdspeak.

    And I’m just me, not a big company—when my clients need assistance, there’s zero waiting on the helpline or for a support ticket.

    If your business is struggling with where to start, where to go next, or how to make the best use of the software you’ve got, let’s talk—I’ve got your back.

    I’m currently taking on new clients.

    Together, we can:

    Things people have said about working with me:

    Rob has a knack for seeing the big picture and for considering all sides of a matter. It enabled him to ask questions that were incredibly prescient or that identified and challenged mistaken assumptions. In a number of cases, he would ask a question or make a suggestion that we didn’t have time to explore fully, and yet wound up realizing were key to future success sometimes years later. His ability and habit of thinking about problems from a longer-term basis and from our customers’ perspectives were impressive and wildly valuable.

    We could always ask Rob to figure out very complicated problems and he would always come back with an elegant and quality design or implementation. He was an incredibly valuable contributor to our team.

    Thanks for being such an incredible human being (you probably get this daily 😉) and whipping the team together for a clean code culture. Your inspiring energy will always be remembered, and we cannot lose touch. You’ve been so understanding since day 1, and actually made me feel better about taking my first OOO since I’ve been here?! lol. You’ve been a prime example of showing how an engineer can be everything from intelligent, organized, detailed, and friendly.
