Summary
Robert Bawn is a Senior Software Engineer with over three decades of hands-on experience building high-performance distributed systems, storage platforms, and identity-focused backend services. Based in Boulder, he blends deep systems-level expertise—Linux kernel modules, iSCSI, and block storage—with modern cloud-native tooling and languages like Go, Python, and gRPC. He has driven core features at startups and enterprises (LeftHand/HP, SolidFire/NetApp) that were acquired for hundreds of millions, and more recently has focused on SaaS application management and passwordless authentication. Known for pragmatic design, rigorous testing, and top-tier customer support, he moves fluidly between low-level systems work and service-oriented architectures. A fast learner and creative problem solver, Robert pairs applied mathematics training with a rare combination of protocol-level knowledge and product-minded execution.
