Bob Beaty is a seasoned technology leader and Chief Technology Officer with 14+ years of enterprise software experience and decades more in systems architecture, academic research, and founding roles. He has led migrations from monolithic legacy stacks to microservice and Clojure-based architectures, built low-latency trading infrastructure, and currently focuses on accelerating fish-safe, zero-carbon hydroelectric projects through faster relicensing and construction. Comfortable across OSes, languages, middleware, and databases, he combines deep hands-on engineering with strategic product and regulatory considerations. Bob excels at end-to-end lifecycle delivery and understands how individual components must interact to produce robust, maintainable systems. He’s equally at home mentoring engineering teams and rolling up his sleeves to design critical infrastructure. Based in Naperville, Illinois, he brings an unusual mix of academic rigor (advanced electrical engineering training) and pragmatic startup/industry execution.
