Top SchoolDrew Robb is a Senior Staff Engineer in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building scalable data infrastructure and production systems. He has repeatedly taken novel data problems from prototype to production—authoring a billion-path Global Heatmap, a routing engine driven by worldwide activity patterns, and algorithms for clustering GPS/time activity streams that yielded patent filings. At Strava he pioneered adoption of Spark, Mesos/Marathon, Docker, Cassandra and Storm, led a Mesos-based deployment platform for 100+ services, and built a low-latency Cassandra-backed feed system handling billions of updates monthly. Comfortable both architecting distributed systems and shipping Scala services, he also operates as the most senior on-call engineer and a daily mentor and reviewer. His background in physics, math and computer science from Harvard informs a pragmatic, analytical approach to infrastructure and algorithm design.
