A former CBRN defense officer and NASA intern, he brings disciplined, operational thinking from military and emergency-response roles to software delivery and incident support. Robert holds an MS in Information Technology (Software Engineering) with a 4.0 GPA and a history of building practical tooling and web/mobile apps for real-world stakeholders, reflecting a bias for reliable, auditable automation.
