Summary
Rob Smith is a seasoned Senior Back-End Software Developer with 11+ years of experience building high-throughput, resilient systems for enterprises including Dell, Revionics and fintech trading firms. He has led architecture and delivery efforts migrating legacy .NET stacks to modern .NET 7, containerized Linux deployments, and orchestrated CI/CD pipelines for AWS/GKE, consistently reducing cloud opex and deployment risk. Rob’s work spans scalable APIs, event-driven background services, and database design (SQL Server and MongoDB), with hands-on experience improving release processes, SQL source control, and automated database deployments. Notable past projects include an OMS processing thousands of orders per second and a CMS/services layer that handled millions of calls per day. Comfortable as both an individual contributor and a technical lead, he excels at untangling undocumented systems and turning them into maintainable, production-grade platforms. Based in Cedar Park, Texas, he’s pragmatic, detail-oriented, and particularly adept at modernizing monoliths into containerized, cloud-native services.
