Top SchoolRobert Bittle is a senior software engineer with 14+ years building and modernizing full-stack web platforms, currently at Sezzle after a decade leading development at Trader Interactive. He spans frontend and backend work—PHP, Node.js, Go and Python—plus DevOps (AWS, Terraform, Chef/Ansible), CI/CD, Docker, and Linux administration, and has driven migrations from SVN to Git and cloud architecture design. Robert blends hands-on coding with team leadership: sprint planning, mentoring via pair programming, and raising test coverage through automated QA that includes per-PR test domains. He’s delivered PCI-compliant payment systems, modernized mobile apps, and applied ML (AWS SageMaker) to extract RV floor plans from images, while publishing tooling like a Golang-based codeGym app and contributing levels to the githug training game. Practical, security-minded, and automation-first, he often turns repetitive tasks into Go utilities and reproducible pipelines that remove daily friction for teams.
