Rob Blanckaert is a Principal Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience, currently driving backend and platform work at Roblox. He blends low-level systems and game-engine expertise with full-stack delivery—shipping Lua integrations, engine serialization and camera fixes for the open-source Luanti (formerly Minetest) engine, and implementing a Virtio console plus fetch-based networking for the popular v86 x86-to-wasm emulator. His background spans startups and tooling roles at Replit, CodeCombat and Appfigures, where he built fault-tolerant cloud scrapers, a custom C# ORM and one-click test/deploy pipelines. Comfortable from emulators to web services, he’s known for bridging scripting environments with performant backend systems and contributing practical fixes that expand modding and networking capabilities.
