Robert Mcelligott is a Staff Software Engineer based in New York with nine years of experience building full-stack web and mobile applications across fitness, finance, and energy sectors. He excels at early-stage product development and systems-from-scratch work, having moved from control systems and field engineering into leadership roles shipping React, React Native, Next.js, GraphQL, and cloud-native stacks. At Peloton and Balanced he focused on mobile and TV platforms and AWS IoT, and he now leads frontend and staff-level engineering at Bilt. Comfortable across infrastructure (Kubernetes/GCP), backend services (Node, Python/Django), and complex microservice ecosystems, he combines practical ops experience with product-focused engineering. Unusually for a senior software engineer, his background includes hands-on control systems and underwater survey engineering, giving him a systems-minded approach to reliability and integration.
