👤
SeniorRob Heiser is a seasoned Platform Engineer with over 17 years of experience building developer-facing tools and automation that streamline integration-to-deployment workflows in high-velocity Agile environments.

Based in San Jose, he brings a pragmatic blend of hands-on engineering, process improvement, and a knack for turning repetitive workflows into reliable, low-friction developer experiences.
