Top SchoolRobert Eng is a software engineer and founder with a decade of experience building scalable systems, currently co-founding Pylon to reimagine B2B customer support across Slack, email, in-app chat, MS Teams and more.

Based in Washington, D.C., he brings a blend of systems thinking, product intuition, and operational experience in both enterprise sales and academic research. An early contributor to student-facing systems and campus security tooling, he’s comfortable bridging low-level engineering details and high-level product strategy.
