Summary
Robert Bergman is an experienced software engineer and indie game developer with over two decades of hands-on experience building libraries, frameworks, and end-user applications across web, desktop, and mobile. He has held senior technical and product-architecture roles at companies including Atlassian, Salesforce, Oracle, and Appfire, and helped scale developer tooling such as CLIs and VSCode experiences using Go, TypeScript/React, and Java. A pragmatic polyglot, he has contributed to notable integrations like the hipchat/hubot adapter, modernizing it for newer Node and Hubot versions and working with XMPP protocols. Now pursuing a long-held passion in indie game development while based in Broomfield, Colorado, he blends deep platform engineering chops with a designer’s eye for user experience. His background in chemistry and long arc from early web work in the mid-90s to contemporary DX tooling gives him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on product and systems design.
