Summary
Robert Cunningham is a New York–based full stack software engineer with 11 years of experience building user-focused web and mobile products using TypeScript, Next.js, React, Node.js and Go. He has led front-end and product-centric initiatives—from public rate tables and onboarding flows at Better.com to analytics-driven features and SPA builds for enterprise clients—while serving as a bridge between design, marketing, and engineering. Comfortable with both algorithmic work (NLP and TF-IDF for journaling metadata) and production systems, he ships polished interfaces that prioritize utility and beauty. His background spans startups, agencies, and fintech, and he often surfaces creative technical solutions such as Slack bots, offline-first PWAs, and D3-based visualizations. Quietly interdisciplinary, he pairs an MFA-level sensibility for language and storytelling with a pragmatic engineering toolbox.
