I'm a versatile software engineer with exceptional communication and leadership skills.
Motto: Work hard, be kind and hone your skills.
The technology I've built has helped millions of people do something they want to do—finish a contract, host a server, send a fun card.
I'm driven to enable people through effective tools. I strive to craft excellent web experiences, but I know the best things I make should be hardly noticed by the people using them.
I've built responsive, accessible and secure web and native apps for Amazon Web Services, New Relic, HSBC, Linklaters, Google, Strava, and Knorr/Unilever
Robert has been nothing short of great during his time at New Relic. He made me feel comfortable and welcomed from the very first day. He is a wonderful mentor and has been an integral part of my journey at New Relic. His technical expertise and thoroughness has been an asset to the team. Robert is always thoughtful when approaching a problem and is able to put himself in the shoes of an user with ease. He is fantastic at following through with actions and making sure everyone is on the same page for next steps.
Robert is joy to work with. As an engineer he has a strong focus in quality that is evident in every aspect of how he considers a problem. Examples, are the thorough and clear intent he brings to his PRs, and the way he treats accessibility and UI consistency as critical parts of a UX. In the planning of work he can really rally a group to a vision and break it down into a clear story. In meetings he is a driver for seeking clarity where it's needed, and brings folks along into coming to a shared understanding. He sets a standard in care and collaboration that he excites us all to strive for.
Robert is a brilliant developer. It was a real pleasure working with him. Technically his work was always rock solid, he carefully thinks things over rather than just jumping straight into a problem or task. Working on projects with Robert was great as he is very reliable and takes massive pride in his work. His communication is excellent. He also offers up proactive suggestions and improvements for either technical reasons or just to make the project or product better. Robert is a positive person to be around and he's also pretty funny too which is a massive bonus!
I worked with Robert on a number of demanding projects. He's an excellent front-end developer with the ability to code pixel perfect renditions of designs across browsers and devices, as well as solid JavaScript skills. Moreover he's accountable and a strong team player, going beyond the call of duty to help bring in projects on time. He comes highly recommended!
I served as graphic designer for the fifth edition of FRONT with Robert acting as co-director of the publication. Working with Rob was one of the best collaborative experiences I've had. He's an excellent leader and author and is incredibly thoughtful, organized and considerate. I'd absolutely recommend him as a colleague or employee.
In the time I've known Robert, I was impressed with his motivation to learn & then apply those skills. He was one of my brightest students to date & was also helpful to his classmates. Following the class, he has been engaged with various open source projects & has shown initiative to contributing code as well as ideas, which I feel is a necessary characteristic for today's developers. I'm happy to recommend Robert for any developer positions & would definitely work with him again in the future.
