Senior🎓
Top SchoolRob Cannon is a founder and hands-on engineering leader with 8 years of experience building cloud-native indexing, infrastructure, and developer tools for blockchains, with a particular focus on the ICON ecosystem. He runs sudoblock and manages full application lifecycles across multiple Kubernetes clusters, marrying operational rigor with rapid open-source development. Rob authored "tackle," a general-purpose configuration language that converts YAML/JSON/TOML into CLIs and code generators, reflecting his taste for developer ergonomics and automation. His background spans CTO and infrastructure roles at blockchain-focused startups as well as earlier quantitative engineering and ML-driven product work in energy, giving him a rare mix of production systems, data-driven modeling, and low-level tooling expertise. Actively maintaining multiple GitHub orgs and a technical blog, he prefers to build in the open and welcomes collaboration.
