Summary
Robert Lathanh is a seasoned engineering manager and senior individual contributor with 14 years of experience building large-scale consumer products and developer-facing architectures at Google and Amazon. He led architecture and modernization efforts for Google Maps for Android—introducing Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and unidirectional data flow across a codebase with hundreds of contributors and over a billion users—while also alternating between people leadership and deep technical ownership. His background spans full-stack product work, mobile at scale, APIs and microservices, data pipelines, and infrastructure, with a bias toward making it faster and easier for other engineers to ship. As a freelancer he applies that breadth to startups and high-impact nonprofit projects, from bootstrapping EV charging stacks to enabling a Guaranteed Minimum Income study and porting national-scale simulation tooling to cloud platforms. Known for pragmatic architecture, cross-functional collaboration, and hands-on delivery, he thrives where strategy, developer experience, and product scale intersect.
