Rob Tuck is a pragmatic project manager and hands-on technologist with 11+ years delivering complex IT and research projects on time and on budget across academia and industry. He blends technical depth—from systems administration, databases, and software development to full-stack web work—with strong program-level governance, having led NSF reporting, executive boards, and migrations to tools like OpenProject at Princeton’s IRIS‑HEP. Comfortable translating business needs into technical solutions, he has built tailored project management systems, training materials, and UI improvements (including front-end contributions to the IRIS-HEP website). His background spans mechanical and computer science degrees plus an MBA and an MS in CS, reflecting continuous upskilling and a rare mix of engineering, fiscal, and personnel management skills. Equally at ease writing Python/.NET utilities for industrial clients as designing risk-contingency plans for large collaborations, he brings a collaborative, coach-first leadership style and a curiosity that reaches from data science coursework to music and history.
