Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Colburn is a seasoned Software Development Engineer with 15 years building scalable, user-focused web and connected-TV experiences from Los Angeles. He has driven high-impact projects at IMDb and NBCUniversal—migrating legacy systems to modern stacks, launching subscription/payment integrations with Amazon services, and shipping Roku and React/GraphQL frontends that measurably grew engagement. Comfortable across the full stack, he blends backend Java/Spring and AWS architecture with front-end React/NextJS and CTV platforms, and has repeatedly designed reuseable APIs and GraphQL abstractions for 2P/3P customers. Robert is also a hands-on security reviewer and operational responder, having certified sensitive applications and provided extensive on-call support while improving SOPs and dashboards. He mentors and scales teams through hiring, working groups, and hackathons, and brings a pragmatic history of turning legacy LAMP and Flash ecosystems into modern, maintainable platforms. A detail not obvious from titles: he pairs product-minded thinking (customer journey instrumentation, anti-account-sharing measures) with deep technical execution to reduce churn and cost.
