Summary
Robert G is a Senior Lead Software Engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building accessible, high-growth products from concept to scale. He founded Helperbird in 2015 and led development of web, mobile, and browser extension experiences using a modern stack (Vue 3, Node.js, AWS, Firebase, Tailwind), growing the platform to over 1,000,000 users and earning Forbes recognition for accessibility. Earlier roles at Teamwork.com and Galactic.jobs show deep full‑stack chops—Golang, Jamstack, TypeScript/Angular, CI/CD and performance optimization—plus hands-on leadership converting legacy systems and improving release pipelines. He pairs entrepreneurial product ownership with rigorous engineering: a first-class honours Computer Science graduate who still codes, tests, speaks at events, and contributes to open source. An avid coffee drinker and Forbes 30 Under 30 alum, he brings a pragmatic focus on usability, performance, and measurable user growth.
