Summary
Bob Baxley is a serial founder and technical leader with 13 years of experience building high-impact RF and crypto-native systems from research labs to venture-backed companies. He co-founded and scaled Bastille as CTO—leading product, hardware, ML-enabled analytics, and a 30+ patent portfolio—and now applies that signal-processing and systems expertise to AMM design and Solidity development at Maverick Protocol. Bob blends deep academic grounding (PhD/MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech) and DARPA-caliber competition success with pragmatic product delivery, having placed top teams in the DARPA Spectrum Challenge and helped raise $45M in venture funding. Based in Atlanta, he also mentors early-stage founders through Ubiquity Ventures and channels his skills into community-focused data projects via a non-profit he co-founded. An engineer who moves comfortably between RF hardware, ML pipelines, and on-chain smart contracts, he’s as likely to prototype a sensor as to model liquidity dynamics.
