Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRobert Hodges is a seasoned entrepreneur and hands-on software engineer who has built and led companies that bridge databases, distributed systems, and cloud economics. As CEO of Continuent he architected Tungsten and led its sale to VMware, and he now runs Altinity to help enterprises adopt petabyte-scale ClickHouse analytics. Comfortable from boardrooms to code, he has guided global engineering teams, closed enterprise deals, and contributed core innovations like parallel replication for MySQL. His recent focus combines data protection, security, and hybrid cloud disaster recovery with a practical eye toward recurring-revenue business models and two-sided network effects. A lifelong hacker based in Berkeley, he maintains active open-source roots—look for his name in the Tungsten replicator source—and pairs an MA in International Studies with deep technical leadership.
